Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation CJ4 and Embraer Phenom 300E are light jets aimed at efficient short-to-mid-range missions. The CJ4 typically offers about 2,000+ nautical miles of range and usually seats around 7–10 depending on configuration, while the Phenom 300E is similar in mission with roughly 2,000+ nautical miles of range and commonly 6–9 passengers. The Pilatus PC-24 sits in the “light jet-plus”/super-light space, bridging light and midsize capability, with around 2,000 nautical miles of range and typically 6–10 passengers, and it’s often chosen when runway flexibility matters. The Citation Latitude is a midsize jet, stepping up in cabin volume and comfort, with roughly 2,700 nautical miles of range and typically 8–9 passengers (often up to about 10 in higher-density layouts). The Citation Longitude is a super-midsize jet with the longest range and largest cabin of this group, around 3,500+ nautical miles, and typically 8–12 passengers depending on layout.
