EASA Certifies Cessna Citation Longitude The Cessna Citation Longitude has been certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) which naturally now allows the Textron branded company to make deliveries into Europe. The Longitude is Cessna's largest Citation model executive jet in production. It would have been superseded in the future by the Citation Hemisphere but that program got cancelled during its development.
"In the second half of last year we saw a substantial increase in super-midsize flight activity across Europe as individuals relied on these products as a transportation solution," said Tom Perry, vice president of Sales, EMEA, Textron Aviation. "The introduction of the Longitude to the European market will fulfill the international travel needs of many of our customers, while providing them peace of mind and convenience for both their business and personal travel." Some city-pairs that can be connected with the Citation Longitude in Europe include Geneva to Dubai or Rome to New Delhi. The Longitude is in the Super Midsize market offering up to twelve (12) seats in a flat-floor 6-foot-high cabin.
