The Citation Longitude, designated as the flagship of the Citation family, is designed to excel in pilot experience, passenger comfort, and overall performance.

Currently, there are over 100 Cessna turbine aircraft in Central America, including more than 30 Cessna Citation business jets.

The order includes a mix of Citation Latitude, Citation CJ3 Gen2, and Citation CJ3 Gen3 aircraft, with initial deliveries of four aircraft (two Citation Latitudes and two Citation CJ3 Gen2) scheduled for 2026.
The aircraft will be operated under ALE's fractional ownership division, MexJet, which pioneered Mexico's first pre-paid flight hour program. ALE, a longtime Citation operator, currently maintains Citation Latitude and Citation CJ3+ aircraft in its fleet.
