With a range of just over 1,500 nautical miles, the Citation I is tailored for regional hops and nonstop city pairs such as New York to Miami, Houston to Chicago, or London to Rome, all without a fuel stop. | The jet’s 370-knot cruise speed ensures brisk flight times, while the service ceiling of 41,000 feet places it above most weather disturbances for a smoother ride. | Its short-field capability means takeoff and landing at runways as short as 3,500 feet, opening up access to exclusive airports and minimizing ground transfer times. | The Citation I’s responsive performance and reliable engineering translate to private travel that is both fast and flexible, delivering efficiency that outpaces commercial schedules.
The Citation I’s cabin offers an inviting, quiet environment for up to six passengers in standard executive configuration, with the flexibility to seat up to eight for select missions. | A double-club layout maximizes space and comfort, while large windows fill the interior with natural light and provide sweeping views. | Passengers can expect plush seating, fold-out worktables, and thoughtful details designed to enhance productivity and relaxation. A small aft lavatory and generous baggage hold—up to 90 cubic feet—ensure every journey is as convenient as it is comfortable. | Private flyers will appreciate the serenity of the Citation I’s cabin, transforming short flights into a seamless, enjoyable experience.
