Charter a Citation Sovereign+ Super Midsize Jet

Production of the Citation Sovereign+ began in December 2013. Cessna ended the line in March 2021 to reduce overlap with the newer Citation Latitude and Citation Longitude, after building 94 Sovereign+ aircraft.

The Citation Sovereign+ is the final version of Cessna's Sovereign super midsize jet. It flies up to 10 passengers 3,200 nm at 448 knots. Each PW306D engine makes about 5,850 to 5,907 lbf, with autothrottle as standard. The 25.2 ft cabin carries over unchanged from the original.

The original Sovereign was already a strong seller, so Cessna focused the Sovereign+ upgrade on performance, efficiency, and cockpit technology rather than the cabin.

First, engineers added winglets, which Cessna calls 'swooplets,' improving fuel efficiency and enabling a direct climb to FL450.

Second, Cessna fitted new PW306D engines with autothrottle, producing more thrust than the original PW306C engines and shortening takeoff distance to approximately 3,530 feet.

Third, the flight deck was upgraded from Honeywell Primus Epic to Garmin G5000, a modern touchscreen avionics suite with dual flight directors and Garmin's Synthetic Vision Technology.

Per published specifications, the Sovereign+ climbs at 4,083 feet per minute, well ahead of the original Sovereign's 3,200 fpm, thanks to the combination of winglets and more powerful engines.

Cessna introduced the Sovereign+ in December 2013 as a focused, cockpit-and-performance-driven upgrade rather than a new model line.

Cessna built 94 Sovereign+ aircraft, a smaller run than the original Sovereign's 349, before ending the line in March 2021. New Sovereign+ aircraft carried a list price of approximately $11 million; pre-owned examples today average around $6.2 million.

Cessna ended Sovereign+ production to reduce overlap with the newer Citation Latitude and Citation Longitude, both of which carry forward design lessons from the Sovereign platform.

The Sovereign+'s winglets, updated engines, and Garmin G5000 flight deck represent the final and most refined version of the original Sovereign design before Cessna moved to its next-generation midsize and super midsize jets.

Against a midsize jet, the Sovereign+ costs more per hour but returns more range, cabin and baggage room.

• More range: 3,200 nm covers New York to Los Angeles nonstop. Most midsize jets reach 2,000 to 2,700 nm.
• More baggage: 135 cu ft fits golf bags and skis with room to spare. Most midsize jets carry 40 to 65 cu ft.
• More cabin: 25.2 ft of cabin length, against roughly 17 to 21 ft in most midsize jets.
• Better runway performance:about 3,530 ft for takeoff, around 110 ft shorter than the original Sovereign.
• Best mission: transcontinental US trips and Caribbean runs for 6 to 10 passengers. It suits clients who want the newest Sovereign cockpit.

The Citation Sovereign+ accommodates up to 10 passengers, with standard setups typically seating 8 across a double-club layout alongside one side-facing seat.

• Club seats in two facing groups swivel 180 degrees for meetings or meals.
• The lavatory is fully enclosed behind two hard sliding doors. A closet near the entry takes garment bags.
• The 5.7 ft ceiling lets most passengers move through the cabin standing up.
• Sixteen windows and dimmable LED lights brighten the cabin. An updated cabin management and entertainment system comes standard.
• The APU can cool the cabin and cockpit before the engines start, so the jet is comfortable at boarding.
• Bags go in an external rear hold and an internal compartment, 135 cu ft in total.

Inside, the Sovereign+ cabin measures 25.2 ft long, 5.5 ft wide and 5.7 ft tall. It holds a 6,000 ft cabin altitude at cruise. Up to 10 passengers ride with 135 cu ft of bags, the most in the super midsize class.

Within the Sovereign line, the Sovereign+ offers the newest engines and avionics on the same proven cabin as the original Sovereign. The original Sovereign offers a lower cost of entry with the same cabin space. The Sovereign+ remains the most refined version of the platform before Cessna moved to the Citation Latitude and Longitude.

With 3,200 nm of range, the Sovereign+ flies any US coast-to-coast route nonstop. Teterboro to Van Nuys, at 2,451 nm, still leaves a healthy fuel reserve.

Chartering a Cessna Citation Sovereign+ runs $4,500 to $6,500 per flight hour. Teterboro to Miami takes about 2 hours 25 minutes. Teterboro to Van Nuys takes about 5 hours 30 minutes.

The Sovereign+ is best judged against the original Sovereign and the Hawker 900XP. The original Sovereign offers the same cabin at a lower cost of entry. The Hawker 900XP costs a little less per hour but gives up range, cabin length and baggage room.

Every Cessna Citation Sovereign+ charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carrier holding full operational control of the flight. Each operator's certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before Hogani Jets coordinates a booking. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.

Every Sovereign+ left the factory with Garmin G5000 avionics, dual flight directors and Synthetic Vision. Its PW306D engines run with autothrottle. Textron Aviation and Pratt & Whitney Canada still back the type with parts and engineering support.

The Sovereign+ suits corporate groups on long domestic legs with full baggage. These Hogani Jets route pages cover the trips it flies most.
