Cessna Citation X: New York to Miami

Published · Updated

The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Citation X is one of the fastest civilian business jets ever built, a Mach 0.92 super-midsize that for years held the outright record before its own successor surpassed it.

From Teterboro Airport (TEB) to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) it can complete the route in under two hours when conditions allow, a record-setting super-midsize jet of formidable pace.

The Citation X flying south

With 3,070 nautical miles of range against the route's 950, the Citation X flies New York to Miami nonstop with range to spare. Its high-speed cruise, approaching Mach 0.92, puts it in the front rank for outright pace and can bring the flight below the two-hour mark in the right conditions, while a 51,000-foot ceiling allows it to climb above much of the traffic and weather encountered on this route.

The Citation X was, in its day, the world's fastest civilian business jet, and it remains a thoroughbred: its speed and climb are exceptional, and on a route flown as often as this one the time it saves is a genuine advantage.

  • Mach 0.92 high-speed cruise — among the fastest business jets ever built
  • A 51,000-foot ceiling, among the highest in the catalog
  • Range of 3,070 nm — comfortably nonstop with ample reserves
  • One of the fastest trips available between New York and Miami

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 touch narrower than the widest super-midsize jets — the trade-off for its remarkable speed — but is a comfortable, well-appointed cabin, and many travelers consider the time it saves one of its greatest advantages.

How it compares within the class

The Citation X is the predecessor of the even faster Citation X+, offering nearly the same performance at a lower charter cost, and stands out for speed where the Citation Longitude is valued for quiet and width. For the business traveler who wants a thoroughbred at a more accessible price, it remains one of the strongest values in the super-midsize class where speed is the priority.
