Cessna Citation X+: New York to Miami
Published · Updated
The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Citation X+ holds a distinction no other civilian aircraft can claim: with a certified maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935, it remains the fastest civilian jet in service. Southbound from New York, that speed translates into one of the shortest flight times available on this route, flown from one of the highest ceilings in business aviation, for the traveler to whom time is the paramount consideration.
From Teterboro Airport (TEB) to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) it completes the route faster than any other aircraft here, a record-setting super-midsize jet built for speed.

The Citation X+ over the 950 miles
With 3,242 nautical miles of range against the route's 950, the Citation X+ flies New York to Miami nonstop with range to spare. Its Mach 0.935 top speed is unmatched by any other civilian jet flying today, and in favorable conditions can reduce flight time to well under two hours, while a 51,000-foot ceiling allows it to cruise above much of the traffic and weather encountered on this route.
The X+ is, in essence, a record-holder: its speed rivals that of many commercial airliners, and on a route flown as often as this one, the minutes it saves accumulate into a real advantage for the frequent traveler.
- Mach 0.935 — no civilian jet in service is quicker
- A 51,000-foot ceiling, among the highest in the catalog
- Range of 3,242 nm — comfortably nonstop with ample reserves
- One of the fastest aircraft available for this route
The cabin and its appointments
The cabin seats eight against a maximum of nine, in a configuration with a flat floor and an enclosed lavatory. At five feet seven inches across it is a little narrower than the widest super-midsize jets — the trade-off for the aircraft's extraordinary speed — but it is a comfortable and well-appointed cabin, and many travelers find the reduced flight time to be an advantage in itself.
How it compares within the class
The Citation X+ is the more powerful, longer-legged development of the Citation X, itself one of the fastest civilian business jets ever built, and stands out for outright speed where the Citation Longitude is prized for quiet and width. For the business traveler to whom speed is paramount, it is among the most capable aircraft in the super-midsize class.
