Delaware Cessna Citation M2 Charter

Entry-level jets are the smallest aircraft we arrange with jet speed, and they cover a lot of Delaware’s regional traffic.

Cessna (Textron Aviation) introduced the Cessna Citation M2 in 2013. It is flown by a crew of 2. The type carries 6 to 7 passengers, cruises at 404 knots, tops out at 41,000 feet, covers 1,550 nautical miles and holds 46 cubic feet of baggage. Every Cessna Citation M2 we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Cessna Citation M2 Fits Delaware

Delaware departures for these are usually from New Castle (KILG), with Delaware Coastal (KGED) an option in the south of the state.

A published range of 1,550 nautical miles brings Naples, Florida, Nassau, Dallas and Houston within reach of Delaware, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.

Through the summer the Sussex County beaches drive demand toward Delaware Coastal, which has no control tower and is attended from eight in the morning until six in the evening, so timings there are worth agreeing early.

The runway required on the day is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on your date, so we confirm it with them for your specific trip.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
