Cessna Citation X Charter
$5,200–$7,600per flight hour · 2026 charter rate
The Citation X (and X+) is the fastest civilian aircraft in service, cruising at Mach 0.935, it turns a coast-to-coast leg into a genuinely shorter day than any rival. The cabin is narrower than a Challenger 350, so it trades width for outright speed and transcontinental range.

Cessna Citation X charter FAQ
Is $5,200–$7,600 an hourly rate for the Cessna Citation X specifically?
No. $5,200–$7,600 per hour is the 2026 super-midsize jets band on this site. The Cessna Citation X is priced in that band, not from a separate rate card. Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas is international in the rate model: no 7.5 percent domestic excise tax, plus the $1,200 handling allowance, which is not a customs invoice. New York to Los Angeles is domestic, and the 7.5 percent federal excise tax is already inside that range.
How many passengers does the Cessna Citation X seat?
The published typical layout is 8 seats, up to 9. Cabin height is 5 ft 8 in and cabin width is 5 ft 6 in. A high-density seat count is not the cabin to assume for a charter.

New York to Los Angeles is 2,193 nm, inside the published range of 3,460 nm. Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas is 832 nm, inside the published range of 3,460 nm.
