Cessna Citation Mustang Charter
Published Jun 18, 2026
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 on the New York–Miami corridor. Production ended in 2017, but a large, well-supported fleet keeps it readily available for couples and small groups heading to South Florida.
- 1,150 nm range
- 340 ktas cruise
- 4 passengers
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 entry point to jet travel
The Mustang seats four in a compact club layout — a true very light jet, best for one to four travellers with modest luggage. What it lacks in cabin volume it makes up 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 corridor.
Flying the corridor nonstop
With 1,150 nautical miles of range against the corridor's 950, 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 climb above most weather and much of the airline traffic over the Eastern Seaboard, for a smoother, more direct ride than a commercial connection.
