Orlando charter groups heading to the Northeast, Caribbean, or coast-to-coast routes find the Citation Sovereign a natural fit: nine seats, a flat floor, and around 3,200 nautical miles of range that puts most US cities within a single nonstop leg from KORL or KMCO.
Cessna designed the Citation Sovereign on a new airframe with Pratt and Whitney Canada PW306C engines, a flat-floor nine-seat cabin and a range around 3,200 nautical miles. The Sovereign+ improved range and avionics. [EXTERNAL_LINK] Every Citation Sovereign we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Citation Sovereign Fits Orlando
KORL handles the Sovereign without issue on its 6,004-foot runway, and Sheltair and Atlantic Aviation both service this class regularly. For executive groups attending OCCC conventions or heading to Kennedy Space Center events, the cabin comfortably seats nine with room for luggage and equipment.
Coast-to-coast corporate travel is where the Sovereign earns its keep out of Orlando. A nonstop to Los Angeles or Seattle is within range, eliminating the fuel stop that older midsize jets require. That matters when a client has a board meeting at 9 a.m. Pacific and wants to leave Florida at a reasonable hour.
For Caribbean and Latin American routes, KMCO handles customs and international arrivals cleanly, and the Sovereign’s range covers most island destinations and major Central American business centers without repositioning to a larger aircraft.
