The Citation Longitude market remains extremely limited in both available inventory and transaction activity. There are currently four aircraft available for sale, representing just 2.4% of the fleet. While inventory has increased from earlier this spring, there have been no recorded retail transactions during the past six months. With such a small sample of aircraft available and no recent sales, individual aircraft characteristics and seller expectations continue to play an outsized role in this market.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently four Citation Longitudes available for sale, representing 2.4% of the fleet.
Inventory remained at just one aircraft from March through May before increasing to three in June. Availability declined slightly to two aircraft in July before returning to three in August. The current market count of four indicates another aircraft has since entered the market.
Despite that increase, overall availability remains very limited, particularly given the relatively young Longitude fleet.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $17.995 million to $28.995 million, creating a wide spread across only four available aircraft.
Current inventory averages just 45 days on market, indicating that the aircraft presently being marketed are relatively fresh listings. With no retail transactions recorded during the six-month period, there is no recent sold-price range or sold DOM average available for comparison.
The lack of recent transactions also makes asking prices less useful as standalone indicators of market value. Buyers and sellers should place greater emphasis on aircraft year, total time, maintenance status, configuration, condition, and other aircraft-specific factors when evaluating individual opportunities.
Sales Activity
There have been no recorded retail sales during the past six months.
Monthly sales activity remained at zero from March through August, despite inventory increasing during the second half of the period. This creates an unusual dynamic: supply remains low in absolute terms, but the available aircraft have yet to translate into completed transactions.
Given the small number of aircraft involved, however, even one or two transactions could quickly change the market statistics.
What this means for you:
Four aircraft available and zero sales in six months. That is the entire story right now. If you are a seller, the absence of comparable transactions means your asking price cannot be validated by the market, it can only be tested by it. The four current listings span nearly $11 million in asking price on a fleet this small, which tells you pricing discipline is not consistent across the segment. Aircraft-specific analysis from someone who knows where buyers have historically engaged is the only defensible starting point. If you are a buyer, the lack of recent transaction data is actually leverage. No sold comps means sellers have limited ability to anchor their expectations to recent market evidence. A well-researched, aircraft-specific offer has more negotiating room here than in almost any other segment in this report.
