Jet Clipper has placed the first order from Argentina for a Cessna Citation Latitude, with delivery expected in 2026.

“We have flown Citations since 2012,” says president Angel Zaninovich. “Our company started with a Citation Mustang, followed by a Citation M2, then a Citation CJ3+ and now our current gem, the Citation Latitude. Each upgrade brings new advantages without changing the basic philosophy of Citation aircraft: to be quick, simple, reliable, affordable and to offer a very efficient support system around the globe. The Latitude is perfect for deep South America because you are only one stop away from the United States or many other destinations. We are proud owners of this new jet and look forward to enjoying it upon delivery next year.”

Argentina is home to nearly 75 Cessna Citations and more than 100 Beechcraft King Airs, and has the second largest installed base of the Beechcraft King Air B200 series aircraft in Latin America.

“In a region where time and access are critical, the Citation Latitude’s range and short-field capabilities empower customers to reach remote destinations quickly and efficiently,” says Marcelo Moreira, Textron vice president sales, Latin America. “The Latitude will support the customer’s existing operations by offering the perfect balance of performance and comfort expected from a Cessna Citation business jet.”

With a stand-up flat-floor cabin and ample space for nine passengers, the aircraft can fly nonstop between destinations such as Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Quito, Ecuador; Cordoba, Argentina, to Medellin, Colombia; Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Oranjestad, Aruba; and Lima, Peru, to Jacksonville, Florida.
