LUMINAIR Orders Nine Cessna Citation Latitude Jets From Textron Aviation

Overview

• Textron Aviation announced at the AERO Friedrichshafen show that European operator LUMINAIR has signed a purchase agreement for nine Citation Latitude midsize business jets.
• Deliveries are slated to start in late 2026, with additional aircraft arriving in 2027, according to LUMINAIR’s timeline reported by AeroTime.
• LUMINAIR plans to use the jets for charter and corporate travel as well as air ambulance, intelligence and surveillance (ISR), utility transport, aerial survey, flight inspection, and training.
• The Latitude’s four‑passenger range of 2,700 nautical miles, 1.83‑meter stand‑up flat‑floor cabin, and 1,091‑meter takeoff field length support non‑stop European routes and operations from shorter runways.
• Textron notes more than 850 Cessna Citation jets already fly in Europe, a footprint that this order taps into as LUMINAIR scales its fleet between its Citation XLS and larger Dassault Falcons to meet rising demand.
