Cessna Grand Caravan EX Charter

Published

The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Grand Caravan EX is a single-engine utility turboprop built for capacity and short fields, not for distance. Its single PT6A-140 cruises at 185 knots — the slowest here — with 912 nautical miles of range and seating for nine to ten and up to fourteen. It is a short-hop and island aircraft; for the full New York to Miami leg a longer-legged turboprop or light jet is the practical choice.

  • 912 nm range

Specification

Range is 912 nautical miles, below the roughly 950-mile route, so in normal configuration the Caravan EX cannot fly New York to Miami nonstop — it is a short-hop and utility type. Cruise is 185 knots true and the ceiling is 25,000 feet. A single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-140 powers it, flown by professional crew. For this corridor we would steer you to a longer-range option.

Cabin

Capacity is the point: a 16-foot-9 cabin, 5 feet 4 inches wide and 4 feet 5 inches tall, seats nine to ten and up to fourteen. The 111-cubic-foot hold swallows gear that smaller singles cannot. The cabin feels like a rugged utility aircraft rather than an executive one.

On this route

The Caravan EX earns its place on short feeder and island legs and large-group, short-distance work — not the full Teterboro Airport (TEB) to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) run. For New York to Miami nonstop, look at the longer-range Daher Kodiak 900 or the Pilatus PC-12 NGX; the turboprop class page shows which singles cover the distance.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Grand Caravan EX fly NYC to Miami nonstop?

Not in normal configuration. Its 912-nautical-mile range falls just short of the roughly 950-mile route, and at 185 knots it is slow. For this leg we recommend a longer-legged turboprop such as the Kodiak 900 or a light jet.

What is the Grand Caravan EX best used for?

Short-hop, island and feeder flights with a large group or bulky cargo. Its strength is capacity — up to fourteen seats and a 111-cubic-foot hold — and access to short fields, not long-distance cruising.

What does a Grand Caravan EX charter cost?

A one-way Caravan EX runs about $5,500 to $8,000 all-in, the lowest entry price in this class. It is most cost-effective on shorter legs where its range is not a limit.
