Global Jet adds Latitude in time for summer
Positioned in the heart of the French Riviera, this aircraft arrives just in time for the summer season, providing access to Europe's most sought-after coastal destinations, private events and last-minute getaways.
Matteo Betancourt says the jet's comfort is unmatched.

Global Jet is expanding its charter fleet in the French Riviera by adding a Cessna Citation Latitude, based in Nice, with great charter availability throughout the year.

This best-selling midsize business jet features a spacious, flat-floor cabin and offers an impressive range of 2,700 nm, ideal for transcontinental flights such as Nice to Dubai, all while maintaining the value and efficiency of a midsize jet.

The Citation Latitude accommodates up to seven passengers in exceptional comfort and provides a generous luggage space of 2.80 sqm. Passengers will enjoy a low cabin altitude of just 4,950 ft while cruising at 41,000 ft, enhancing onboard wellbeing and comfort.

“With the arrival of the Citation Latitude in Nice, Global Jet elevates luxury travel just in time for summer, offering unmatched access to Europe’s most exclusive destinations with the efficiency, comfort, and flexibility that discerning travellers demand,” comments business development executive Matteo Betancourt.

Thanks to its excellent performance, the Citation Latitude can access airports with shorter runways, many of which are unreachable by larger jets, offering travellers greater flexibility and access to exclusive destinations.

Equipped with nextgen-capable, touchscreen Garmin G5000 avionics, the Citation Latitude also features a spacious cockpit, ensuring maximum comfort and productivity for the crew.

Strategically positioned in the heart of the French Riviera, this aircraft arrives just in time for the summer season, providing access to Europe's most sought-after coastal destinations, private events and last-minute getaways. This move strengthens Global Jet's presence in a growing market driven by luxury tourism and demand for personalised, exclusive travel. Alongside its existing fleet in the region, which includes the Global XRS, BBJ1, Falcon 7X and Falcon 2000LX, this new jet allows the company to better serve high-net-worth clients seeking flexibility, efficiency and top-tier service.
