Citation X
Some travelers choose an aircraft for the cabin. Others choose it for the range. The Citation X exists for the ones who choose it for the clock. Certified in 1996 as the fastest civilian business jet ever built, it arrives coast to coast up to 35 minutes ahead of anything else in its category. Eight passengers, 3,215 nautical miles, Mach 0.90.
Citation X
When the Clock Matters More Than Anything Else
Most aircraft in the super medium category are chosen for their cabin, their range, or their access to smaller airports. A Citation X charter is chosen for one reason: it gets there faster than anything else in its class — by a margin that is felt rather than just measured.
On a coast-to-coast leg, the Citation X arrives up to 35 minutes ahead of comparable super medium jets. That gap compounds across a busy week of travel. An executive flying three or four long domestic legs recovers nearly two hours that would otherwise be spent in the air — time that translates directly into meetings held, decisions made, and trips that begin and end on the same day rather than requiring an overnight. For travelers who bill their time or run operations that depend on their presence, the difference in charter rate often costs less than the time it saves.
Cessna did not achieve Mach 0.90 by fitting powerful engines to a conventional airframe. The wing was designed using NASA’s supercritical research specifically to minimize drag at high transonic speeds — an engineering approach that, in 1996, earned the program aviation’s most prestigious honor. Eight passengers sit in a double-club configuration in a cabin nearly 24 feet long, with a full galley, a large lavatory, and a pressurized baggage hold. Speed was the design priority, but the interior does not reflect any compromise made in pursuit of it.
From New York to Las Vegas, the Citation X closes the distance before most aircraft in its class have reached cruise altitude. Celebrity Jet Charter coordinates aircraft availability and ground logistics to match the schedule. These aircraft are operated by experienced crews who understand what the platform demands and what it delivers.

Super Medium Jets
Challenger 300 / 350
Certified in 2003 as a clean-sheet design originally called the Continental, the Challenger 300 went on to become one of the most delivered super medium jets ever built, with 457 aircraft delivered before the 350 took over in 2014. The 350 became the fastest business jet in history to reach 300 deliveries in its category.
Challenger 3500
Designed as the next evolution of the Challenger 350, the Challenger 3500 brings updated cabin technology, refined seating, and dependable performance to one of the most trusted super midsize platforms.

Eight passengers, 3,215 nautical miles, Mach 0.90.
Citation Longitude
With a spacious stand-up cabin and seating for up to 12 passengers, the Longitude is a strong option for private flyers who want more range and comfort without moving into a heavy jet.
Citation Sovereign / Sovereign+
Announced at the 1998 NBAA convention and certified in 2004, the Citation Sovereign was built on a stretched Citation Excel fuselage paired with a new larger wing and more powerful engines. The later Citation Sovereign+ added winglets, Garmin G5000 avionics, auto throttles, and updated engines while keeping seating for up to 9 passengers.
Embraer Praetor 600: Successor to the Legacy 500 Business Jet
A strong choice for both business and leisure travel, the Praetor 600 offers a comfortable cabin, generous baggage capacity, and the ability to connect many city pairs nonstop.
Falcon 50EX
When it first debuted, it made history as the first private jet certified to cross the Atlantic, proving that you didn’t need a commercial airliner to reach the other side of the world. Born from the same engineering DNA as high-performance fighter jets, the 50EX was designed for travelers who refuse to choose between safety, comfort, and the ability to land exactly where they need to be.
Gulfstream G200 / G250 / G280
When you hear the name “Gulfstream,” you likely think of massive jets that hop between continents. The G200 and G250/G280 series take all that prestige and engineering and pack it into a more agile package.
Gulfstream 300
Based on the Gulfstream IV platform, the G300 offers a spacious cabin, seating for up to 14 passengers, and reliable range for longer private flights.
Hawker 4000
The Hawker 4000 is one of the best-kept secrets in the sky. While other manufacturers stuck to traditional metal construction, Hawker did something radical: they built the fuselage out of carbon fiber.
