Air Charter Advisors offers private jet charter services on the Cessna 650 Citation III, a midsize business jet with a 2,350 nautical mile range and seating for up to 6-7 passengers.
This was Cessna’s first entry in the midsize business jet category. Instead of relying on smaller existing versions of their Citation line, they designed the CE650 from scratch, creating a platform that later introduced the Citation VI and Citation VII variants.
The Citation III debuted in 1983 and quickly established class-leading performance records for its climb rate and overall speed, reaching 49,200 ft in just 23 minutes and 24 seconds, and flying non-stop from Gander Airport to Paris le Bourget in just 5 hours and 13 minutes while averaging a speed of 429 knots.
The first model that rolled off the line was owned by golfer Arnold Palmer. Production lasted until 1992, with a total of 202 built over its 9-year run.
