Why the Cessna Citation Mustang Fits Long Island
With 1,150 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Long Island to destinations such as Montreal, Chicago and Palm Beach, allowing for reserves and routing. Hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th, and winter storms can slow every airport around New York, so we watch the forecast.
For an aircraft in this class, we pick the Long Island airport closest to where you are going, whether that is Republic, MacArthur, Gabreski or East Hampton. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is up to the operator for that aircraft, its weight and the conditions that day, and your advisor confirms it before anything is booked.
How Long Island Clients Use the Cessna Citation Mustang
Long Island clients use very light jets for small groups on short business trips and weekend getaways. The baggage hold tends to fill up before the seats do, so keep the luggage light.
Tell us the route, the group and the bags, golf clubs and beach gear included, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft fits or suggest a better one.

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:

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- 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.
