Heavy jets carry larger Boca Raton groups on the longer legs, with the cabin space to make a transatlantic or South American trip worth doing.
Textron Aviation (Cessna) introduced the Cessna Citation Hemisphere in suspended. It is flown by a crew of 2. The type carries 12 to 19 passengers, cruises at 516 knots, tops out at 45,000 feet, covers 4,500 nautical miles and holds 100 cubic feet of baggage. Every Cessna Citation Hemisphere we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Cessna Citation Hemisphere Fits Boca Raton
Heavy jet trips out of Boca Raton normally use Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International (KFLL), which clears customs around the clock or Miami-Opa Locka Executive (KOPF), both of which handle an international departure comfortably.
A published range of 4,500 nautical miles brings Cabo San Lucas, Scottsdale, Las Vegas and Los Angeles within reach of Boca Raton, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.
Winds change the answer as well. A westbound leg into a headwind eats into range, so an aircraft that flies a route nonstop in one season may need a fuel stop in another.
The runway required on the day is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on your date, so we confirm it with them for your specific trip.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
