Cessna Citation Mustang: New York to Miami
Published Jun 15, 2026
The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Citation Mustang holds an honoured place in private aviation as the aircraft that, in effect, created the very-light-jet category. On the New York–Miami corridor it remains a genuinely economical entry to jet travel for the couple or solo traveller, and we set out below, with candour, the single matter of range that bears on its use over the route.
From Teterboro Airport (TEB) to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) it flies the passage nonstop in fair conditions, the most affordable jet in the catalogue.
- 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), Republic Airport (FRG) or Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP), and arrive at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) or Miami International Airport (MIA).

The Mustang on the corridor
With 1,150 nautical miles of range against a route of roughly 950, the Citation Mustang flies New York to Miami nonstop in fair conditions, though with a narrow margin. A strong winter headwind, or a full cabin, may on occasion make a brief technical stop the prudent course; we will assess the day's winds and advise plainly, rather than promise a nonstop the conditions might not support.
Its Mach 0.63 cruise sets the passage at around three hours, and a 41,000-foot ceiling carries it above most weather — a modest performer by the standards of the class, but a true and capable jet.

The cabin and its appointments
The cabin seats four against a maximum of five, in a compact, sensibly appointed configuration. It is the most intimate jet on the corridor, best suited to a couple or to four travellers with light luggage, and it offers the speed and altitude of a jet at the lowest figure the catalogue affords.
How it compares within the class
The Mustang sits a step below the Citation M2 — its natural successor — in speed and range, and below the Phenom 100EV in cabin refinement. It remains the most economical way into the light-jet class, and a frequent and affordable presence among the corridor's empty-leg flights.
