The Cessna Citation Mustang CE-510 is the entry-level jet that launched the very-light-jet category in 2006, and Naples clients see it as the lowest-cost jet option for a Nassau day trip or a short Northeast hop. APF is generous for it.
Cessna produced the Mustang from 2006 to 2017 as the smallest jet in the Citation family. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F engines drive the airframe to 340 knots cruise, 1,150 nautical miles of range, a 41,000-foot ceiling, and four-to-five seats with a belted lavatory.

Why the Cessna Citation Mustang CE-510 Fits Naples
For a couple flying to Nassau for a day or to Palm Beach for a member-guest tournament, the Mustang is the cheapest jet on the Naples market. APF’s 6,600-foot runway is generous; MKY is inside the envelope on cool days.
1,150 nautical miles of range is the honest limit: TEB and HPN are inside the book on a light payload; BED and PWK need a fuel stop. Any full-cabin Northeast trip should be redirected to a CJ1, M2, or Phenom 100.
Cabin size is real: four passengers and light bags is comfortable; five is tight. For a family of five with luggage, the Phenom 100 is a better fit.
