The Cessna Citation Sovereign+ charter offers discerning travellers a refined super-midsize jet experience, combining transcontinental range with outstanding short-field performance. Manufactured by Cessna — a Textron Aviation brand — the Sovereign+ is widely regarded as one of the most versatile and capable aircraft in its class. Whether connecting major business hubs or reaching remote airstrips, it delivers effortlessly.
Aircraft Overview
The Citation Sovereign+ entered service in 2013 as an enhanced evolution of the original Citation Sovereign, which first flew in 2002. Textron Aviation refined the platform with upgraded Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306D engines, delivering improved fuel efficiency and performance at altitude. The aircraft earned particular recognition for its ability to operate from shorter runways while still offering nonstop transatlantic-adjacent range — a rare combination in the super-midsize category. This flexibility has made it a consistent favourite among corporate flight departments and charter operators worldwide.

Cabin Experience
The Sovereign+ cabin is thoughtfully appointed to meet the expectations of high-net-worth travellers, with seating for up to nine passengers in a club-style layout that encourages both productive work and genuine relaxation. Wide, hand-stitched leather seats offer generous recline, while the extended stand-up cabin allows passengers to move freely throughout the flight. Large oval windows flood the interior with natural light, and the aircraft’s exceptionally quiet cabin — one of the quietest in its segment — reduces fatigue on longer sectors. A fully equipped galley, enclosed lavatory, and optional high-speed Wi-Fi complete a truly premium onboard environment.
