CITATION SOVEREIGN: Private jet rental

Description of Citation Sovereign

The Citation Sovereign is the private jet chosen by international football star and PSG player Neymar. This private jet was a great choice for the footballer as, with its medium-sized cabin, the aircraft can get him from A to B very quickly. The Brazilian opted for a second-hand Cessna Citation Sovereign produced in 2008 and purchased in 2015. This is a much smaller aircraft than the brand new Challenger 605 favoured by Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton or the Gulfstream G200 of Real Madrid football star Cristiano Ronaldo.

A transcontinental aircraft, the Citation Sovereign has been one of Cessna‘s flagship models since 1998. Equipped with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines, this aircraft cruises at 830 km/h to travel 4600 km with 8 passengers on board and two pilots. This magnificent private aircraft benefits from an impeccable cabin design and several possible configurations.

The aircraft has a range of more than 5000km, representing more than 6 hours of flight, enough to fly directly from Paris to Finland or Turkey. However, this business jet can’t quite get Neymar all the way to Brazil!

Commercial features of Citation Sovereign

Inside, the floor is on two levels and the height in the centre of the cabin is 1m73. The maximum width is only 1m68, not much more than a Peugeot 3008 which is 1m55. This is just enough width to sit comfortably. The classic configuration of the Sovereign is 8 seats arranged in two 4-seat club spaces.

The most important thing to remember about the Cessna Citation Sovereign is that it is a useful aircraft with no frills, and is particularly well suited to flights lasting 3 to 6 hours.
