Hera Flight has acquired four super-midsize Citation X jets and plans to expand its fleet further.

The Cessna jet has a long range of 2,890 nautical miles and can go up to 700 miles per hour.

“As we head into our busiest season yet,” said Jonathan Hollar, co-owner of Hera, in a press release. “We wanted to make sure our clients never have to compromise on availability.”

Hollar continued:

‘Adding four more Citation X aircraft to our fleet gives us the flexibility to meet surging demand for fast, reliable charter service without sacrificing the personalized experience our clients expect.’

In a press release, Hera said it plans to expand further “with additional aircraft acquisitions and service enhancements planned in the months ahead.”

According to the latest FAA Part 135 charter aircraft data, Hera Flight has seven Gulfstream GIVs, one GV, 10 Citation Xs, a Challenger 300, and three Learjet 60s.

The operator first announced this expansion last May.

Hera Flight moved up four slots to 22nd among the largest U.S. private jet companies based on charter and fractional flight hours in 2025.

Last year, it posted 27.7% growth in flight hours compared to 2024.
