John Sieckowski of AMG, the first company to have the Latitude available for charter

AMG becomes first company to operate Citation Latitude for charter

Aircraft Management Group, Inc. (AMG) of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia is the first operator to take delivery of a Citation Latitude and add it to its charter certificate. The aircraft is available for charter immediately through its AMG Jets division. The aircraft will spend half of the year based out of Pittsburgh International airport and the other half based in Palm Beach International airport.

“What's appealing is that it has the amenities of larger aircraft but the flexibility to fly into short fields with trans-continental range,” says John Sieckowski, president and owner. “That appeals to a lot of customers.”

The Citation Latitude jet cabin is 77 inches wide, six feet tall and more than 21 feet long with a flat floor. The aircraft comfortably seats nine passengers and features a cruciform tail and all metal fuselage. It is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney PW306D engines giving a projected speed of just over 440 knots. Its range is 2,850 nm and its runway takeoff distance is 3,668 feet.

“With the addition of the Latitude, we expect to expand our customer base by being able to offer flights to the west coast and to Europe,” adds Shannon Pennypacker, director of charter sales and marketing.
