For a day trip from Baltimore to Charlotte or Detroit with one or two colleagues, a very light jet is usually enough aircraft.
Cessna introduced the Citation M2 in 2013. It seats 6 to 7 with a published range of 1,550 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 404 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 41,000 feet, 46 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Cessna Citation M2 Fits Baltimore
With 1,550 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Baltimore and destinations such as Boston, Chicago and Houston, allowing for reserves and routing. Baltimore winters bring snow and the occasional nor’easter, so in those months your advisor checks the forecast with the operator before each departure.
Smaller aircraft can use BWI or Martin State, and Easton Airport for St. Michaels and Oxford, with the operator confirming the airport at each end on your quote. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Baltimore Clients Use the Cessna Citation M2
Two or three travelers with overnight bags suit a very light jet, since the baggage hold is small even with empty seats.
Share the route, how many are flying and how much they are bringing, and your advisor will say whether this type is the right fit or suggest one that is.
