A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the super-midsize jet class.
EMBRAER
The Embraer Praetor 600 redefined the super-midsize category — the first aircraft in its class with genuine transatlantic range (4,018 nm), full fly-by-wire controls and a 6,000-foot cabin altitude. The Bossa Nova interior is widely considered the most beautifully appointed cabin in segment.

The Citation Latitude offers a true six-foot flat-floor cabin — usually the preserve of super-midsize jets — at midsize operating costs. Nine passengers fly in stand-up comfort across Europe, transcontinental US or the Mediterranean.

EXPERT VERDICT
The Praetor 600 pulls ahead on range / non-stop reach, cabin comfort and speed & block time; the Citation Latitude answers with airport access. Because the Praetor 600 (super-midsize jet) and Citation Latitude (midsize jet) sit in different segments, charter pricing diverges noticeably — match the aircraft to the mission, not the budget.
Range / non-stop reach
Praetor 600
4,018 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.
Cabin comfort
Praetor 600
Taller and/or wider cabin (6'0" × 6'10") — better for long flights and stand-up movement.
Group capacity
Even
Matched specifications.
Airport access
Citation Latitude
Shorter 3,580 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.
Speed & block time
Praetor 600
Cruise of Mach 0.83 — shaves meaningful minutes off every long leg.

| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → Dubai | 2,950 nm | Praetor 600 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (2950 nm > 2,700 nm). |
| Teterboro → Los Angeles | 2,150 nm | Praetor 600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| London → New York | 3,000 nm | Praetor 600 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (3000 nm > 2,700 nm). |
| Geneva → Riyadh | 2,450 nm | Praetor 600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
