Published Jun 14, 2026
The Cessna Citation CJ3+ is the value benchmark of the light-jet class — efficient, dependable and one of the most widely operated business jets in the world. On the New York–Miami corridor it delivers a comfortable nonstop flight at a lower hourly cost than almost anything else with a stand-up-capable cabin.
- 2,040 nm range
- 416 ktas cruise

Private charters on the New York–Miami corridor depart from Teterboro Airport (TEB), Westchester County Airport (HPN), Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU) or Republic Airport (FRG), and arrive at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), Miami International Airport (MIA) or President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT).

The Citation CJ3+ on the New York–Miami route
The CJ3+ carries 2,040 nautical miles of range, so the 950-mile New York–Miami leg is well within nonstop reach with a full cabin and reserves. Plan on about two and three-quarter hours in the air at its Mach 0.74 cruise.
Its efficient Williams FJ44 engines and single-pilot certification keep operating costs — and therefore charter rates — among the lowest in the class, which is why it is a favourite for cost-conscious corporate and leisure trips on this route.
Cabin and baggage
The 15-foot-8-inch cabin seats six to seven in a club layout with a refreshment console and an in-flight-accessible baggage area holding 65 cubic feet — comfortably enough for a long-weekend group.
The Garmin G3000 flight deck and a quiet, well-insulated cabin make for a relaxed, low-fatigue ride down the Eastern Seaboard.
