Cessna Grand Caravan EX Charter

Published

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 this corridor: with 912 nautical miles of range, the Miami–New York leg needs a fuel stop, so it suits feeder hops and regional connections rather than the full nonstop run.

  • 912 nm range
  • 185 ktas cruise
  • 9–10 passengers
From $5,500 one-way, all-in

The Grand Caravan EX and the Miami–New York route

At 912 nautical miles of range, the Grand Caravan EX cannot make the roughly 1,000-mile corridor nonstop — it would require a single fuel stop en route. Cruising around 185 knots, it is also the slowest aircraft in this catalogue, so the full Miami–New York trip would take the best part of a day with the stop included.

Where it shines is shorter sectors: a hop within Florida, a regional feeder leg, or carrying a group plus heavy gear from a small field. For the corridor itself, 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 baggage, 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 corridor
  • Needs a fuel stop for Miami to New York
  • Carries up to nine or ten with heavy gear
  • Short and rough-field capability
  • The lowest charter rate in the catalogue

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. With 912 nautical miles of range it falls short of the roughly 1,000-mile corridor and would need a fuel stop. For a nonstop, a longer-range turboprop such as the King Air 350 or Pilatus PC-12 is the better choice.

Why is the Grand Caravan EX listed for this route?

It is a capable utility turboprop for short feeder hops and regional connections around South Florida, and for carrying groups with heavy gear from small fields. It is honest about needing a fuel stop on the full corridor.

How many passengers does the Grand Caravan EX seat?

Nine to ten in a typical layout, with up to fourteen certified. It is well suited to a larger group on short sectors.

How much is a Grand Caravan EX charter?

It carries the lowest rate in the catalogue, typically $5,500 to $8,000 all-in for short sectors. For the Miami–New York corridor, factor in the fuel stop and added time.
