Ron DeSantis was inaugurated as the 46th Governor of Florida on January 8, 2019, and re-elected in 2022 with a 19-point margin. A former U.S. Navy JAG officer and U.S. Representative (2013–2018), DeSantis launched and withdrew from the 2024 Republican presidential primary before endorsing Donald Trump.
Executive transport for the Governor of Florida is provided by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) through a 2019 Cessna Citation Latitude (model 680A), registered as N943FL under Mode S hex code AD18D5 (serial 680A0234). The aircraft is powered by Safran Arrius 2B2 turbofans and has an MTOW of 30,800 lbs, giving it transcontinental range appropriate for a state as large and internationally connected as Florida.
The state jet attracted significant scrutiny during the 2024 presidential campaign. Open-source flight tracking revealed that the FDLE Citation Latitude — which costs Florida taxpayers approximately $1.2 million annually in financing — was deployed to New Hampshire, Iowa, and other early primary states simultaneously with DeSantis campaign events. This raised transparency questions about whether state aviation resources were subsidizing political travel, prompting ethics complaints and FOIA requests for flight logs.
