Cessna Citation X+.

When speed is the mission, a Cessna Citation X+ charter delivers an unmatched advantage in the Super Midsize Jet category — this is the fastest civil aircraft currently certified for passenger use, cruising at 476 knots to compress transcontinental journeys into a fraction of the time. Powered by twin Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 engines and built for time-critical travel, the Citation X+ is the aircraft of choice for executives and high-net-worth travellers who simply cannot afford delay. Prime Jet Services operates access to this exceptional platform from Dubai, combining the aircraft’s extraordinary performance with a white-glove charter experience tailored to every detail of your journey.

History & Development

The Citation X+ is the evolution of Cessna’s landmark Citation X, itself introduced in the mid-1990s as the fastest business jet in the world at the time. Introduced in 2014, the X+ brought meaningful refinements to the original platform, including upgraded Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 engines delivering improved thrust and fuel efficiency, along with an enhanced glass cockpit suite and aerodynamic refinements that pushed the certified maximum operating speed to Mach 0.935. The aircraft received FAA type certification and quickly became Cessna’s flagship performance offering, affirming its position at the very pinnacle of the super midsize segment. Its combination of record-setting speed and transatlantic range cemented a commercial legacy that remains compelling for operators and charter clients worldwide.

Cabin & Comfort

The Citation X+ cabin stretches to 8.61 metres in length, accommodating up to eight passengers in a typically club-configured seating layout with individual chairs offering generous recline and dedicated work surfaces. Headroom of 1.73 metres and an equivalent cabin width create an environment that feels genuinely spacious for a super midsize aircraft, allowing passengers to move freely throughout the cabin. Noise suppression technology keeps the interior notably quiet at cruise altitude, making conversation and focused work equally effortless, while the rear-mounted baggage compartment offering 82 cu ft of space ensures luggage is well stowed and accessible. A forward galley and fully enclosed lavatory complete the onboard amenities, and connectivity options allow passengers to remain productive or entertained throughout even the longest stage of the journey.

Ideal Routes from Dubai

With a range of 3,460 nm, the Citation X+ opens up an impressive spread of non-stop routing from Dubai, including Dubai to London (approximately 6 hours 30 minutes), Dubai to Mumbai (around 2 hours), Dubai to Nairobi (approximately 4 hours), and Dubai to Moscow (around 4 hours 30 minutes). The aircraft’s exceptional cruise speed means that even longer-haul sectors within its range are completed significantly faster than on comparable super midsize jets, making it the preferred choice for time-sensitive intercontinental travel. Routes across the Gulf, the Indian Subcontinent, East Africa, and deep into Europe are all well within comfortable reach.

Compare Similar Aircraft

Clients evaluating the Citation X+ for its speed and cabin balance frequently consider alternatives across the super midsize and large-cabin categories. Aircraft commonly compared include the Praetor 600, which offers extended range in a similar performance bracket, the Challenger 350, favoured for its wider cabin cross-section, and the Citation Latitude, which provides a flat-floor cabin experience at a slightly reduced performance level.
