Cessna Citation Mustang Charter

Published · Updated

The Cessna Citation Mustang is the original entry-level very light jet — a four-seat twinjet that made private jet travel attainable for small parties and remains a common, affordable charter aircraft between New York and Miami. Production ended in 2017, but a large, well-supported fleet keeps it readily available for couples and small groups heading to South Florida.

The entry point to jet travel

The Mustang seats four in a compact club layout — a true very light jet, best for one to four travelers with modest luggage. What it lacks in cabin volume it makes up for in cost: it is among the least expensive pure jets you can charter on the New York–Miami route, a step up in speed and altitude from a turboprop without a step up to light-jet rates.

A Garmin G1000 flight deck and twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F engines give it dependable, simple operation, and the in-service fleet remains well maintained and easy to source on this route.

Nonstop to South Florida

With 1,150 nautical miles of range against the 950 between the two cities, the Mustang flies New York to Miami nonstop with a full cabin and IFR reserves — no fuel stop required. Plan on about three hours in the air at its Mach 0.63 cruise, roughly 340 knots true airspeed.

A 41,000-foot ceiling lets it cruise above much of the weather and a good deal of the airline traffic over the Eastern Seaboard, for a more direct routing than a commercial connection.
