Cessna Citation Excel Charter
Published Jun 18, 2026
The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Citation Excel is the original of the best-selling Excel line — a stand-up midsize cabin at a value rate. It set the template the XLS+ refined, and it remains a sensible, comfortable choice for the corridor.
- 1,657 nm range
- 433 ktas cruise
- 7–8 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 Boca Raton Airport (BCT).

The Excel on the route
A 1,657-nautical-mile range covers the 950-mile corridor nonstop with reserves, and a 433-knot cruise puts the flight at about two and a half hours. A 45,000-foot ceiling keeps the ride smooth.
Cabin and baggage
An 18-foot-6 cabin gives full five-foot-eight standing height, an enclosed lavatory and a galley — the same roomy cross-section as the XLS+. Around 80 cubic feet of baggage suits a group of up to eight.
Why travellers choose it
- A stand-up midsize cabin at a value rate
- An enclosed lavatory and a galley
- Nonstop New York to Miami in about 2.5 hours
- A very large fleet for strong availability
