A right-sized very light jet for the route
The M2 is a very light jet, so its cabin is more intimate than a full light jet — at 11 feet long it seats five to six in a club-four layout with two extra seats. For one to four passengers travelling to Miami it is comfortable and quick, and the smaller cabin keeps charter rates low.
With 1,550 nautical miles of range against the corridor's 950, the M2 flies New York to Miami nonstop with a full cabin and IFR reserves. Expect a little under three hours in the air at its Mach 0.71 cruise, roughly 404 knots true airspeed.
Economical jet travel
Single-pilot certification, a fuel-efficient pair of Williams International FJ44-1AP-21 engines and a compact airframe give the M2 some of the lowest operating costs of any jet, which is why it is a value favourite for couples and small groups on this route.
The Garmin G3000 flight deck, a quiet cabin and a 41,000-foot ceiling deliver a genuine jet experience — faster and higher than any turboprop — at a price that sits well below the larger light jets.
