Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Gulfstream G280 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation Latitude and Pilatus PC-24 are typically positioned in the super-midsize and light/super-light crossover space, respectively, while the Cessna Citation Longitude and Gulfstream G280 compete more directly in the long-range super-midsize segment. In range, the PC-24 is shortest-legged at roughly 2,000 nautical miles, suiting regional missions and flexible operations (including more austere runways). The Latitude steps up to about 2,700 nautical miles, covering much of North America efficiently. The Longitude extends farther to around 3,500 nautical miles, enabling more consistent transcontinental and some North Atlantic city-pair capability with favorable conditions. The G280 is in the same class as the Longitude and is typically quoted around 3,600 nautical miles, edging into longer nonstop missions within the super-midsize category. For passenger capacity, the PC-24 commonly seats about 6–8, the Latitude about 7–9, and both the Longitude and G280 are often configured around 8–10 passengers, with layout choices affecting comfort and true usable capacity.
