Cessna Citation Longitude vs Gulfstream G600

The Cessna Citation Longitude and Gulfstream G600 sit in different business-jet categories. The Citation Longitude is typically considered a super-midsize jet, aimed at efficient transcontinental missions and strong operating economics. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin, long-range jet designed for higher-end intercontinental travel with more space and amenities. In range, the Longitude is generally quoted around 3,500 nautical miles (about 6,500 km), depending on payload and conditions, which suits routes such as coast-to-coast U.S. or similar-length city pairs. The G600 is commonly cited around 6,600 nautical miles (about 12,200 km), enabling many nonstop long-haul pairings such as New York to Dubai-type distances, again depending on winds and loading. For passenger capacity, the Longitude is usually configured for roughly 8 to 12 passengers, with typical layouts around 9. The G600 typically seats about 10 to 14 passengers, often configured around 13, while providing a noticeably larger cabin and more living zones.
