5Y-PAA Aircraft Overview
5Y-PAA is a Cessna Cessna Citation Sovereign registered in Kenya with serial number 680-0094. The Cessna Citation Sovereign occupies the super-midsize category, bridging the performance gap between traditional midsize jets and large-cabin heavy platforms. The aircraft is associated with Phoenix Aviation, registered through the KCAA.
Cessna Citation Sovereign Market Position
The Citation Sovereign was Cessna's first entry into the super-midsize segment, combining a wide cabin with 3,000 nautical miles of range. The Sovereign+ variant added Pratt & Whitney PW306D engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. The type offers Cessna's single-pilot certification, reducing crew costs for owner-operators.
Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation Sovereign cruises at 458 knots and achieves a maximum range of 2847 nautical miles. That envelope covers coast-to-coast U.S. routes and most Caribbean or Central American destinations nonstop from mainland airports. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C. A 47,000-foot service ceiling keeps the aircraft above congested airspace and most weather systems.
Mission Profile
Super-midsize jets fill a specific operational gap: passengers who need transcontinental range and a stand-up cabin without the acquisition and operating costs of a heavy jet. The Cessna Citation Sovereign seats up to 12 in a flat-floor cabin with enough room for a productive work environment or comfortable rest on legs exceeding four hours.
Charter & Availability
5Y-PAA is registered in Kenya under the KCAA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Cessna Citation Sovereign platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Super-midsize jets often operate from the same runway lengths as midsize aircraft but carry significantly more fuel and payload. For operators considering an upgrade from a midsize platform, the super-mid category delivers measurably more range without requiring access to longer runways.
