Hera Flight adds four Citation X jets for peak charter season
Hera Flight is adding four Cessna Citation X aircraft to its charter fleet, bringing its Citation X count to 14. The company says the aircraft will serve both jet card members and on-demand charter clients.
- Four Citation X aircraft added on September 21, 2026
- Hera Flight now lists 14 Citation X jets
- Fleet also includes 9 Gulfstreams
- Citation X range cited at 3,460 nautical miles
- Aircraft will serve jet card and on-demand charter clients
Hera Flight is bulking up its charter fleet with four more Cessna Citation X jets as it prepares for busy-season demand. The move increases the company’s super-midsize capacity, with the new aircraft aimed at both jet card members and retail charter customers.
Corporate Jet Investor reports that Hera’s fleet now includes 14 Citation X aircraft, 9 Gulfstreams and a mix of Learjet 60s and Challengers. The Citation X is valued in charter because it is fast, has a quoted range of 3,460 nautical miles, and can handle many U.S. coast-to-coast missions without stepping up to a larger cabin jet.
The story is a good snapshot of today’s charter market. Operators are trying to add lift in categories customers actually book, not just collect trophy aircraft. Super-midsize jets can be the sweet spot: more range and cabin than light jets, but often easier to price and schedule than large long-range aircraft.
