For a regional trip out of Orlando with two or three people and light luggage, a very light jet is the most economical jet cabin.
Cessna introduced the Citation M2 in 2013. It seats 6 to 7 with a published range of 1,550 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 404 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 41,000 feet, 46 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Cessna Citation M2 Fits Orlando
With 1,550 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Orlando Executive and destinations such as Atlanta, Philadelphia and Boston, allowing for reserves and routing. From June to September, afternoon thunderstorms build over Central Florida most days, so morning departures tend to run closest to plan.
Smaller aircraft usually fly from Orlando Executive or Kissimmee Gateway, the closest jet airport to Walt Disney World and Celebration, and the operator confirms the airport at each end on your quote. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator ahead of the trip.
How Orlando Clients Use the Cessna Citation M2
On a very light jet, the luggage space runs out before the seats do, so two or three passengers with small bags is the comfortable load.
Tell us where you are flying from, how many are coming and what they are bringing, strollers and golf bags included, and we will measure this aircraft against the trip before offering alternatives.
