Cessna Citation Longitude
Textron Aviation’s largest jet the Longitude is gaining ground in the super-midsize market. As of the end of 2020, the company had delivered 31 Longitudes, following certification in September 2019.
Although it shares the flat-floor cabin width and height dimensions of the Latitude, the Longitude is a fairly big step up from its smaller sibling. With a maximum takeoff weight (mtow) of 39,500 pounds, the Longitude is longer, by 3 feet, 5 inches in cabin length and 10 feet 11 inches in overall length.
The Longitude’s extra 8,700 pounds in mtow enables it to carry another 3,706 pounds of useful load, most of that fuel (14,500 pounds total, or an extra 3,106 pounds compared with the Latitude). And that translates into significantly added range, enabling the Longitude to carry a full-fuel payload of 1,600 pounds (1,000 more than the Latitude) and fly 3,500 nm, compared with the Latitude’s 2,700 nm (each with four passengers).

Traffic at Teterboro Airport dropped from 140,000 in 2019 to a little more than 70,000 in 2020.
Three years ago, the fate of Coleman A. Young International Airport outside of Detroit looked bleak. The facility had fallen into disrepair and had little community support. But when officials started discussing possibly repurposing the facility for other uses, the aviation community quickly organized and began an education campaign on how it could contribute to the local community.
The result, said Alex Gertsen, director of airports and ground infrastructure for NBAA, was a “180-degree turnaround.” The city has now submitted an airport layout plan that would include lengthening the runway and a number of safety enhancement measures.
