For a couple or a small family heading toward Monaco, a light jet is a comfortable choice on a shorter flight, though not for the Atlantic crossing.
Cessna built the Citation II from 1978 to 1994. It seats 7 to 8 with a published range of 1,700 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 385 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 43,000 feet, 77 cubic feet of baggage volume and a lavatory.

The Cessna Citation II on a Monaco Trip
Every flight from the United States lands in France, so each passenger needs a valid passport and clears French border control at the airport, and Monaco adds no border formalities of its own.
The crossing to Nice, the gateway for Monaco, is roughly 3,500 nautical miles from the East Coast, so for that flight your advisor will suggest a jet with the range for it. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before you book.
How Monaco Clients Use the Cessna Citation II
A couple or a family of four on a shorter flight will often see a light jet first on the quote, and the bags fit as long as nobody overpacks.
Give us the dates, the number of passengers, the bags and the city you are leaving from, and your advisor will say whether this aircraft is right for the trip or put a better one in front of you.
