Comparison with Competitors in its Class
The Citation S/II boasts several advantages in the light and mid-size business jet segment. Compared to the Learjet 35/36, the Citation S/II offers a more spacious cabin with a comfortable stand-up configuration and 15% lower operating costs. Unlike the Hawker 400, the Citation S/II provides a greater flight range and access to airports with shorter runways.
While modern models like the Embraer Phenom 300 surpass the S/II in speed and avionics, the Citation S/II remains a cost-effective solution with lower acquisition and maintenance costs while offering comparable payload and comfort. Thanks to its robust design, the Citation S/II often demonstrates higher operational readiness compared to more complex modern counterparts.

- Classic "club" layout with comfortable leather seats
