About the Cessna Citation Sovereign+
The Citation Sovereign+ offers the largest cabin in the Cessna midsize range, seating up to 12 passengers in a layout that bridges midsize and super-midsize categories. With 2,847 nm of range and a 7.6m cabin, it handles European routes with space to spare. The Sovereign+ upgrade brought Garmin G5000 avionics and improved engines for better fuel efficiency.
Who Charters This Aircraft
Larger groups of 8–12 who need midsize pricing but more capacity. Popular for corporate group travel, sports teams, wedding parties, and family holidays where a single larger aircraft is more practical and cost-effective than two smaller jets.
Charter Cost Context
At £3,200–£4,500 per hour, the Sovereign+ delivers exceptional per-passenger value for groups of 8–12. A London to Nice flight costs approximately £7,000–£9,800. For a full group of 10, that is just £700–£980 per person, making private charter genuinely competitive with business-class commercial fares.
