The Citation V brings a faster, stretched cabin to Orlando-area charter travel, fitting seven to eight passengers with enough range to connect Central Florida to the Northeast or Texas nonstop on a single efficient airframe.
Cessna introduced the Citation V as a stretched, faster Citation II with Williams FJ44 engines and improved range. The cabin seats seven to eight passengers. Production ran from 1989 to 1994, bridging the Citation II and the later Bravo and Encore models. [EXTERNAL_LINK] Every Cessna Citation V we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Cessna Citation V Fits Orlando
Groups of seven or eight traveling from Orlando to the Mid-Atlantic or New England for business find the Citation V a practical choice. The larger cabin versus the Citation II means everyone travels together rather than splitting into two smaller aircraft, and the speed advantage over the II keeps block times reasonable.
For corporate groups attending events at the OCCC, the Citation V’s eight-seat ceiling accommodates a full executive team with room for luggage. Operating out of KORL keeps the group away from the commercial terminal congestion at KMCO while still giving access to Customs on site for international arrivals.
Snowbird routes from Central Florida to the Northeast are a natural fit through the winter months. The Citation V covers that distance nonstop in most conditions, and the comfortable cabin makes a two-plus-hour flight manageable for passengers who want to avoid connecting through a commercial hub.

- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
