What is the range of the Citation M2?
The Cessna Citation M2 has a range of 2,408 km, or 1,300 nautical miles with regulatory reserves. At its cruising speed of 741 km/h, that works out at about 3 h 15 of continuous flight. Real-world range falls with the number of passengers, the load and headwinds.
How many passengers can the Citation M2 carry?
The standard layout seats 6 passengers. The certified maximum is 6 seats, but a fully loaded aircraft loses range: beyond 6 people, reckon on about 3 % less reach per extra passenger.
How much does it cost to charter a Citation M2?
The hourly rate observed on the European market runs from €3,800 to €7,000 for a Cessna Citation M2. A two-hour flight therefore comes to roughly €7,600 – 14,000, all in: crew, fuel and landing fees. Most operators apply a minimum billing of one and a half hours.
Which airports can the Citation M2 use?
It needs 991 metres of runway to take off and 790 metres to land at maximum weight. That opens up short fields such as Cannes-Mandelieu, Saint-Tropez La Môle or Courchevel-Chambéry. Its service ceiling reaches 41,000 feet, above commercial traffic and most weather.
