The Latitude can accommodate as many as nine passengers in standard configuration. Interior highlights include the flat floor, 6ft cabin height and wireless connectivity and entertainment system, provided through passengers’ PEDs. The cabin also has new cooling and pressurization systems, the latter ensuring 5,950ft cabin altitude at 45,000ft.
