A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the midsize jet class.
EMBRAER
The Embraer Legacy 500 was the first midsize jet with full fly-by-wire flight controls, delivering ride quality previously reserved for the largest business jets. A genuine six-foot cabin, 6,000-foot cabin altitude and 3,125 nm range make it exceptional for transatlantic and Middle-East missions.

The Citation Sovereign+ extends midsize-jet thinking with super-midsize range. Nine passengers cross the US coast-to-coast nonstop or fly London to Dubai with one fuel stop — all at midsize operating costs.
