Daher Kodiak 900 Charter from Miami to New York
Published
Daher pitches the Kodiak 900 at people who measure trips in gear first and hours second — and that is exactly how to think about it between Miami and New York. Six comfortable seats, a stretched cabin, and an astonishing 309 cu ft of baggage space make it the corridor's pack mule. At 210 knots it is unhurried; what it carries is the point.
Straight talk on timing: the trip takes about four hours forty-five minutes to five hours of flying. The 1,129-nautical-mile range covers the route nonstop on paper, but with a full cabin or a winter headwind many crews plan a short fuel stop rather than cut margins fine. Estimated quotes run $6,500 to $9,500 one-way from Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) or Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE).

Where the Kodiak 900 earns its keep
Start with the hold, because nothing else in this price bracket comes close. Between the aft compartment and the external cargo compartment the Kodiak takes 309 cu ft — think a film crew's full kit, a race team's spares, six bicycles in travel cases, or a household's worth of boxes. The cabin itself is a genuine 4 ft 9 in tall with a flat floor and quick-change seating, so the split between people and payload moves with the mission. For gear-heavy trips north, it replaces a van, a freight booking and a jet all at once.
The flying is calm and low-drama. Crews typically cruise the Kodiak in the low teens, and its short-field manners open up strips no jet will consider — useful if your New York end is really a Catskills lodge or a Hamptons-adjacent field rather than Teterboro Airport (TEB). On the standard run most clients land at Teterboro or Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU), where the aircraft's modest footprint keeps handling simple and fees low. Figure a morning departure and a mid-afternoon arrival, stop included.
Weigh it fairly against the alternatives. A Pilatus PC-12 flies the same leg over an hour faster with a pressurized cabin, for roughly two thousand dollars more; the Grand Caravan EX carries three more seats for less money but adds a mandatory stop. The Kodiak sits between them: newer than most Caravans, a bigger hold than the Pilatus, and the right answer when the cargo manifest is the first thing you write down.
- 309 cu ft of baggage — the largest hold in the turboprop class
- Six-seat executive cabin, 4 ft 9 in tall, with a flat load floor
- From $6,500 one-way, estimated; about five hours en route
- Short-field capable for Catskills, Hudson Valley and coastal strips
Quoting it honestly
When you ask us to price a Kodiak 900 north, we check three things before anything else: total payload, the day's winds aloft, and whether a fuel stop makes the schedule safer or just longer. If a stop is likely we say so up front and build it into the timing, not spring it on you at the FBO. Every flight is arranged with FAA Part 135 operators and crews current on the type, and the quote itemizes fuel, fees, handling and standard catering.
Availability is thinner than for King Airs — the 900 is a newer type and fleets are small — so give us a few days' notice where you can. If your dates are fixed and no Kodiak is positioned well, we will offer the nearest equivalents with the same candour about time and cost, and let you choose. Empty-leg positioning occasionally throws up a bargain on this type; ask and we will check the board.

Frequently asked questions
How long is Miami to New York in a Kodiak 900?
About four hours forty-five minutes to five hours of flying at its 210-knot cruise. The 1,129 nm range can cover the 1,000 nm corridor nonstop in good conditions, but with heavy payloads or winter headwinds crews often add a twenty-minute fuel stop, which we build into your schedule from the start.
What does a Kodiak 900 charter cost on this route?
Expect $6,500 to $9,500 one-way (estimated) — fuel, crew, fees and standard catering included. Where the aircraft is based matters more than usual because fleets are small, so positioning can swing a quote. A flexible date or a nearby empty leg can bring the number toward the bottom of that range.
How much luggage fits in a Kodiak 900?
A remarkable 309 cu ft across the internal aft bay and external cargo compartment — several times what a light jet carries. Bicycles, dive kit, camera cases, instruments and trade equipment travel without games of Tetris. Tell us weights and dimensions and we will confirm the exact load plan with the operator.
Is the Kodiak 900 pressurized?
No — it flies its best in the low-to-mid teens, so expect a scenic, slightly more textured ride than a pressurized turboprop or jet. Most passengers find it perfectly pleasant on a clear day. If cabin altitude or summer bumps concern you, a Pilatus PC-12 or King Air is the better call for this leg.
Which airports does it use around New York?
Teterboro and Morristown are the usual arrivals, and its short-field performance opens smaller upstate and Long Island strips when the trip really ends at a lodge, vineyard or shoot location. On the Miami end, Opa-locka and Fort Lauderdale Executive both handle it in minutes — arrive fifteen minutes before wheels-up.
