Cessna Citation Latitude vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280

The Cessna Citation Latitude and Embraer Praetor 600 are typically grouped in the midsize-to-super-midsize business jet segment, while the Gulfstream G280 is generally considered a super-midsize jet with a strong long-range emphasis. In range capability, the Latitude is the shortest-legged of the three at roughly 2,700 nautical miles, making it well suited to domestic U.S. missions and shorter transcontinental routes depending on payload and winds. The Praetor 600 stretches notably farther at about 4,000 nautical miles, enabling many true transatlantic city pairs and longer nonstop missions. The G280 is in the same long-range neighborhood at roughly 3,600–3,900 nautical miles, often positioned as a high-speed, long-range super-midsize option. For passenger capacity, all three commonly seat around 8 to 10 passengers in typical executive layouts; the Latitude can be configured up to about 9 passengers, while the Praetor 600 and G280 are often arranged for 8 to 10, with maximum certified seating generally higher depending on configuration.
