Chartering a Cessna Citation costs from €2,412 to €5,700 per hour depending on the model (12 aircraft compared, seating 5 to 12 passengers), ranges published by Paramount Business Jets converted at the ECB rate. The smallest model sits at the bottom of the range, the long-range at the top; the firm quote arrives within 60 minutes.
The Citation family is the most numerous in European skies and the one behind the cheapest empty legs: Mustang and M2 for two to four passengers on Paris–Geneva or Nice–Milan, CJ3/CJ4 for six to eight passengers up to 3,500 km, Ascend and Latitude for a stand-up cabin on Paris–Marrakech, Longitude for the Middle East. Simple, robust and widely available aircraft — which is why most clients' first private flight is on a Citation.
Which model to pick: M2/CJ3 for Western Europe on a budget; CJ4 for six passengers up to 3,500 km; Ascend/Latitude for a stand-up cabin.
