The Citation V business jet aircraft is an industry workhorse. With an NBAA IFR reserve range of 1960 NM, the beautiful Citation Aircraft manufactured for its comfort, range, and speed is truly a one of a kind business jet. Being a true Citation aircraft, it can quickly depart from airports with a short runway, yet fast enough at cruise speeds to keep up with the plane in the light jet cabin class.
Although it lacks a stand-up cabin or a stand-up lavatory, it is an economical private jet and there are 774 of these Citation V aircraft delivered from 1987 till 2011. The Citation V was derived from the Citation II model after adding a newer engine with more thrust and a seating capacity of 8 seats. The aircraft is capable of flying at Flight Level 410 at speeds of 370 knots.
There are Citation aircraft that have 6 seats and a galley with a coffee maker and Ice storage for the drinks on each side. This aircraft is easily modified inside its cabin depending upon the needs of the Citation V jet charters and the air carriers. Most charter flights in the USA and Central and South America use the Citation V specs (mainly the long-range) for reducing the Citation V operating cost.
