Citation Bravo – Legacy Light Jet Charter

The Cessna Citation Bravo is a legacy light jet that continues to deliver dependable performance and comfort for flights ranging from short to mid-range. Once a favorite among business travelers and private flyers, the Bravo is now available through select charter providers by request. With room for up to seven passengers, this jet remains a practical and budget-conscious option in the legacy charter category.


About the Citation Bravo

Developed as an evolution of the Citation II, the Citation Bravo was produced from 1997 to 2006 and featured several improvements, including more powerful Pratt & Whitney PW530A turbofan engines, updated avionics, and enhanced landing gear. These enhancements gave the Bravo greater operational efficiency and access to smaller airfields thanks to its short-field capability of 3,600 feet.

Although no longer in production, the Citation Bravo continues to operate in limited charter markets and is favored for short-haul trips where comfort, efficiency, and airport accessibility are key priorities.

The Citation Bravo cabin seats 6 to 7 passengers, featuring club-style leather captain’s chairs that swivel and recline for enhanced in-flight comfort. A fully enclosed lavatory, ample natural lighting, and soundproofing make for a pleasant experience onboard. The Bravo also features a generous 74 cubic feet of external baggage capacity, accommodating luggage, skis, golf bags, or business equipment with ease.

  • Cabin Width: 4.9 ft
  • Cabin Length: 15.8 ft

Performance Overview

The Citation Bravo combines speed, range, and efficiency in a legacy format. It cruises at speeds up to 405 knots (466 mph) and offers a maximum range of approximately 1,290 nautical miles. These performance figures make it well-suited for regional routes such as:

  • Los Angeles to Portland
  • Dallas to Chicago
  • Miami to New Orleans
  • Denver to Scottsdale

Thanks to its altitude capabilities and efficient flight profile, the Bravo offers a smooth and quiet ride—ideal for both leisure and light business travel.


When to Charter the Citation Bravo

The Citation Bravo is best suited for travelers who value functionality and comfort over the latest onboard tech. It’s a popular option when other light jets are unavailable or when cost-efficiency is a key factor. While it doesn’t feature the same modern cabin amenities as newer light jets, the Bravo remains a capable performer for charters under two to three hours.

With its short-field performance, it can access regional airports closer to your final destination—helping to reduce travel time and ground transfers.
