Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Gulfstream G280

The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet: it typically carries about 6–8 passengers and is optimized for shorter missions, with roughly 2,000–2,200 nautical miles of range, making it best for regional and many transcontinental U.S. trips with fewer people. The Cessna Citation Latitude is a midsize jet with a larger cabin than the Phenom; it commonly seats around 7–9 passengers and offers about 2,700 nautical miles of range, fitting longer domestic legs and some near-international routes. The Cessna Citation Longitude steps into the super-midsize class, usually accommodating about 8–12 passengers and reaching roughly 3,500 nautical miles, enabling more consistent coast-to-coast missions plus longer international segments. The Gulfstream G280 is also super-midsize but range-focused; it typically carries about 8–10 passengers and delivers around 3,600–3,800 nautical miles, often edging the Longitude on mission length while maintaining strong performance for longer overwater and intercontinental-style city pairs.
