Cessna Grand Caravan EX Charter
Published · Updated
The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Grand Caravan EX is a workhorse short-haul utility turboprop, prized for carrying large loads from short and rough fields. It is honest about its limits on a trip this long: with 912 nautical miles of range, it needs a fuel stop to reach New York, so it suits feeder hops and regional connections rather than the full nonstop run.

The Grand Caravan EX and the Miami–New York route
At 912 nautical miles of range, the Grand Caravan EX cannot cover the roughly 1,000 miles to New York nonstop — it would require a single fuel stop en route. Cruising around 185 knots, it is also the slowest aircraft we list for this route, so the full Miami–New York trip becomes a long day once the stop is included.
Where it shines is on shorter sectors: a hop within Florida, a regional feeder leg, or carrying a group plus heavy gear from a small field. For the full route north, a longer-legged turboprop or a light jet is the better fit, and we will steer you there.
Cabin and cargo
The 16-foot-9 cabin seats nine to ten, and the aircraft hauls 111 cubic feet of luggage, more with the belly cargo pod. It is built for utility — people and freight from unimproved strips — rather than speed or range.
Where the Grand Caravan EX fits
- Best for short feeder hops, not the full Miami–New York run
- Needs a fuel stop for Miami to New York
- Carries up to nine or ten with heavy gear
- Short and rough-field flexibility
