St. Maarten, Dutch Caribbean — Great news for luxury travelers and aviation enthusiasts!
Just in time for the start of the 2025–2026 high season, ReyJets.com proudly announces the upcoming arrival of a Cessna Citation VII jet to its fleet—stationed at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM/TNCM) in St. Maarten.
✈️ Why the Citation VII is Perfect for Caribbean Travel
- Impressive performance: Powered by twin Honeywell TFE731-4R-2 engines delivering over 4,000 pounds of thrust each, the Citation VII cruises at speeds up to 460 knots and can reach cruising altitude in under 20 minutes.
- Range ideal for island-hopping: With a range of approximately 1,830 nautical miles, the aircraft can fly non-stop to key destinations including Panama, Colombia, Jamaica, and the Bahamas.
- Spacious cabin comfort: Accommodating 8-9 passengers, the aircraft offers a stand-up cabin, fully equipped galley, lavatory, and generous baggage storage.
- Short runway access: With a balanced field length around 5,170 feet, the Citation VII is perfectly suited to Caribbean runways.
- Efficient operations: Compared to newer jets, the Citation VII offers significant cost savings while still delivering elite private jet comfort and performance.
