The Cessna Citation Latitude's ~2,700 nm range falls short of the ~2,989 nm New York–London route, so it cannot make the trip nonstop — it needs at least one fuel stop. For a nonstop, step up to a heavy or ultra-long-range jet.
Range vs. Distance
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| New York → London (great circle) | ~2,989 nm |
| Cessna Citation Latitude range | ~2,700 nm |
| Margin | 289 nm beyond range |
| Aircraft class | midsize jet |
Book range (NBAA IFR) already includes fuel reserves, but westbound headwinds effectively add distance — which is why a route near the edge of an aircraft's range is treated as conditional rather than a guaranteed nonstop. The operating crew calculates final fuel for the specific date, winds, and payload.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Cessna Citation Latitude's ~2,700 nm range falls short of the ~2,989 nm New York–London route, so it cannot make the trip nonstop — it needs at least one fuel stop. For a nonstop, step up to a heavy or ultra-long-range jet.
The great-circle distance is about 2,989 nautical miles. Real flight plans run a little longer because of routing and winds, and westbound legs effectively add distance against the prevailing flow.
About 2,700 nautical miles (NBAA IFR). That is enough for transcontinental and many longer trips, with transoceanic range depending on the specific route and winds.
Routes of about 2,989 nm call for super-midsize, heavy, or ultra-long-range jets. See our ranking of the longest-range private jets.
