CITATION VI

Reliable Midsize Jet with Value and Performance

In this video, we showcase the Citation VI—a midsize jet that delivers proven reliability, cabin comfort, and operating value. Discover why it’s still favored for corporate missions, private ownership, and charter operations.

Meet the Citation VI

The Citation VI is a cost-effective midsize jet built by Cessna, offering solid performance, a roomy cabin, and strong operating economics. Designed as a value-based alternative to the more customized Citation III, it quickly earned a reputation for dependable service and efficient business travel. With its twin Honeywell TFE731-3C-100S engines, the Citation VI delivers competitive range and speed without the high acquisition or maintenance costs of newer models.

Cabin Comfort and Layout

The Citation VI cabin seats up to eight passengers in a comfortable club-and-divan arrangement. The 5.7-foot cabin height and 5.5-foot width provide enough space for most passengers to move and work in comfort. Additional amenities include:

– Fold-out worktables and sliding chairs
– Enclosed rear lavatory
– Partial refreshment center
– Internal baggage storage

Performance & Capabilities

The Citation VI offers excellent performance for the price, cruising at approximately 430 knots with a range of about 2,000 nautical miles. Operators appreciate its:

– Fast climb to cruise altitude
– Short runway capability for regional airports
– Efficient fuel burn for its class

Although newer aircraft offer more range, the Citation VI is ideal for mid-length business missions or as a charter platform.

Maintenance and Operating Costs

As a standardized model, the Citation VI benefits from simplified avionics and fewer custom parts than the Citation III. This translates to:

– Lower maintenance and parts costs
– Easier support from third-party maintenance facilities
– Better predictability in operating budgets
