Super Midsize Jet
The super midsize jet sits at the most commercially active intersection in business aviation — enough range to cover transcontinental and partial transatlantic routes, a genuine stand-up cabin, and an acquisition cost that remains well below the heavy jet category.

Super vs. Midsize
Cabin height increases 8–12 inches, range extends 800–1,400 nautical miles, and seating adds 2–4 seats — justified when missions regularly exceed 2,500 nautical miles.
Super Midsize Jet Cabin Specs and Performance Benchmarks
Cabin dimensions across the category span 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet 2 inches in height, 5 feet 6 inches to 7 feet 3 inches in width, and 18 to 25 feet in length. Seating configurations include double-club, single-club with a divan, and higher-density layouts. Range runs from approximately 2,700 nautical miles (Citation Latitude) to 3,600 nautical miles (Gulfstream G280). Cruise speed ranges from 450 to 528 knots true airspeed — with the latter belonging to the Citation X, the fastest certified civilian jet in its class at launch.

Top Super Midsize Jet Models
Bombardier
Bombardier Challenger 350. 3,200 nm. 10 passengers. Widest cabin in the segment at 7 feet 3 inches. Strongest residual values and the highest charter yield in the category. Shares a type rating with the Challenger 300, broadening crew sourcing options.
Bombardier Challenger 300. 3,100 nm. 9–10 passengers. The predecessor to the Challenger 350 has mature maintenance support and accessible pre-owned pricing. Type-rating commonality with the 350 is a practical operational advantage.
Cessna (Textron Aviation)
Cessna Citation Latitude. 2,700 nm. 9 passengers. Flat-floor and short-field performance that exceeds most peers in the category. The right choice for operators who regularly access shorter or high-elevation airfields.
Cessna Citation Sovereign / Sovereign+. 3,200 nm (Sovereign+). 9 passengers. Strong short-field performance and a mature Cessna service network. A cost-accessible pre-owned entry into the super midsize segment.
Cessna Citation X / X+. 3,460 nm. 8–12 passengers. The fastest aircraft in the category at 528 KTAS. Compresses block times on transcontinental routes; carries a narrower cabin relative to the Challenger 350.
Embraer, Gulfstream, and Dassault
Embraer Praetor 500. 3,340 nm. 9 passengers. Advanced fly-by-wire avionics and growing operator adoption since 2019 certification. Shares a type rating with the Praetor 600.
Gulfstream G280. 3,600 nm. 10 passengers. The range leader of the category. Globally available Gulfstream maintenance and AOG support network makes it well-suited for international operators.
Dassault Falcon 50EX. 3,450 nm. 8–9 passengers. Tri-engine design, strong residual values, and particular appeal among European operators served by Dassault's regional support infrastructure.
How They Compare
The super midsize outperforms midsize jets on range and cabin height, and undercuts heavy jets on cost and short-field access. Optimized for 3–7 hour missions carrying 6–10 passengers.
Costs and Charter
Costs vary by aircraft, route, and utilization. ACASS’s IS-BAO Stage 3, ARGUS Gold management program helps owners offset expenses through charter revenue.
Ownership and Operations
Operation requires an approved maintenance program, type-rated crew, and an AOC. Consolidating acquisition, management, and crew under one provider ensures continuity. Own Your Journey®.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a super midsize jet?
A super midsize jet is a category of business aircraft with a stand-up cabin (5'9" to 6'2" height), seating for 7 to 12 passengers, and a range of 3,000 to 4,500 nautical miles. Widely recognized models include the Bombardier Challenger 350, Gulfstream G280, Cessna Citation Latitude, and Embraer Praetor 500.
How much does a super midsize jet cost?
Aircraft acquisition and operating costs vary based on model, age, utilization, and market conditions. Whether you are evaluating a new aircraft or a pre-owned option, ACASS provides personalized cost structures built around your specific aircraft, usage profile, and operational requirements. Contact our team for guidance tailored to your mission profile.
What is the range of a super midsize jet?
The typical range is 3,000 to 4,500 nautical miles, depending on the model and payload. The Citation Latitude reaches approximately 2,700 nm; the Gulfstream G280 reaches 3,600 nm. In practical terms, the category covers nonstop coast-to-coast US routes and transatlantic legs such as New York to London (3,459 nm).
What is the difference between a midsize jet and a super midsize jet?
Cabin height increases by 8 to 12 inches, enabling genuine stand-up movement. Range extends by 800 to 1,400 nautical miles. Seating capacity increases by 2–4 passengers. The upgrade is justified when missions regularly exceed 2,500 nm or the passenger count consistently exceeds six.
How much does it cost to charter a super midsize jet per hour?
Charter costs vary by aircraft model, route, and positioning requirements. Working with an AOC operator rather than a broker provides direct accountability for the aircraft and crew. ACASS operates as a charter operator with AOCs in Canada, Ireland, and San Marino — contact our team for a personalized quote.
