EC-MLV Aircraft Overview
EC-MLV is a Cessna Citation Sovereign registered in Spain with serial number 680-0215. The Cessna Citation Sovereign occupies the super-midsize category, bridging the performance gap between traditional midsize jets and large-cabin heavy platforms. The aircraft is associated with Tag Aviation Spain Sl, registered through the AESA.
Cessna Citation Sovereign Market Position
The Citation Sovereign was Cessna's first entry into the super-midsize segment, combining a wide cabin with 3,000 nautical miles of range. The Sovereign+ variant added Pratt & Whitney PW306D engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. The type offers Cessna's single-pilot certification, reducing crew costs for owner-operators.
Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation Sovereign cruises at 458 knots and achieves a maximum range of 2,847 nautical miles. That envelope covers coast-to-coast U.S. routes and most Caribbean or Central American destinations nonstop from mainland airports. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C. A 47,000-foot service ceiling keeps the aircraft above congested airspace and most weather systems.
Mission Profile
Super-midsize jets fill a specific operational gap: passengers who need transcontinental range and a stand-up cabin without the acquisition and operating costs of a heavy jet. The Cessna Citation Sovereign seats up to 12 in a flat-floor cabin with enough room for a productive work environment or comfortable rest on legs exceeding four hours.

Insider Note
Super-midsize jets often operate from the same runway lengths as midsize aircraft but carry significantly more fuel and payload. For operators considering an upgrade from a midsize platform, the super-mid category delivers measurably more range without requiring access to longer runways.
