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.
Charter a Citation V
Most private flight companies out of the USA use different variants of the V. It has been Improved ever since its inception iN 1987 from the V to the Citation V Ultra and then the Citation Encore followed by the Citation Encore + which completed the Citation family of light jets and model 560 Cessna Citation. This straight-wing design has won over the jet charter industry's hearts and minds and it has shown no signs of slowing down with the upgrades in two crews, but in the USA a Single qualified Captain can also be used on private flights.

Where the Cessna Citation V fits
The Citation V is an established light jet used for regional business travel with up to seven passengers. Its short-field capability opens up airports that larger jets cannot use, which often shortens the door-to-door journey more than raw cruise speed does.
Choosing between this and the alternatives
For newer cabin fittings and better baggage volume in the same class, the Phenom 300 is the usual alternative. Compare hourly rates for every category in the private jet charter cost guide, and see the full light range on our light cabin aircraft page.
