Citation Sovereign+

Citation Sovereign+ exterior

Overview

The Cessna Citation Sovereign+ is a super-midsize jet that blends a large, comfortable cabin with the short-field ability more typical of smaller aircraft. Seating up to nine, it offers excellent range for longer African legs while retaining the flexibility to use shorter runways that exclude many rivals. For travellers who want more cabin and range without sacrificing airport access, the Sovereign+ is an outstanding fit.

Chartering the Citation Sovereign+ in Africa

For charter across Africa, the Citation Sovereign+ is typically positioned from its home base to your departure airport, flown to your destination, and returned afterwards — the estimate you see on a route search already accounts for this full rotation. Whether it suits a given trip depends on the runway at each end, the distance, and how many seats you need. Search any route to see a live estimate for the Citation Sovereign+ alongside every other aircraft that can fly it, then send an enquiry to have operators confirm the exact price.

Images are representative of the aircraft type — the actual aircraft, cabin layout and interior finish depend on the operating carrier. Specifications are typical planning figures for charter use and vary by individual aircraft configuration. Charter prices are computed estimates confirmed by the operating carrier through the inquiry process.
