Cessna Citation X+ Charter
Published Jun 20, 2026
The Cessna Citation X+ is the fastest civil aircraft flying — a Mach 0.935 cruise that no other business jet matches. On the New York–Miami corridor that speed is the whole story: it covers the route quicker than anything else in this class, slipping into South Florida in barely over two hours when the winds cooperate.
- 3,242 nm range
- 527 ktas cruise
- 8 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 fastest way down the Eastern Seaboard
At Mach 0.935 — about 527 knots true airspeed — the Citation X+ is the quickest civilian jet in the sky, faster than every other aircraft on this route. New York to Miami, roughly 950 nautical miles, falls to just over two hours in the air, shaving meaningful time off an already short hop.
A 51,000-foot ceiling, higher than most super-midsize jets, lets it climb above the weather and the airline traffic over the Northeast and run direct, turning speed into real schedule certainty.
Cabin, range and baggage
The 25-foot-2 cabin seats eight in a stand-up double-club layout. It is narrower than the widebody jets in this class at five feet seven inches across — the trade for that record speed is a trimmer fuselage — but it stands a full five feet eight inches tall, with 82 cubic feet of baggage for a group's bags.
Range is 3,242 nautical miles, so the corridor leaves a generous margin and the aircraft can press on from Miami or reposition without a fuel stop. Twin Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 engines supply the thrust behind the speed.
