CITATION XLS – Private Jet Charter

by Satvir Singh | Sep 14, 2015

The Citation XLS is a beautiful Citation Aircraft manufactured for its comfort, range, and speed. Being a true Citation aircraft, it can quickly depart from airports with a short runway, yet fast enough at cruise speeds to keep up with the plane in its class.

With a stand-up cabin and a lavatory and a galley, this aircraft also makes for a comfortable 6 hours coast to coast flight. Club seating with a Divan in the back, it makes for a wonderfully accommodating eight-seat airplane.

Airplane capacity

  • Two crew and additional flight attendant
  • Eight passengers
  • Four large suitcases
  • 3 Golf bags
  • full entertainment with Wifi and galley with an oven.

Where the Cessna Citation XLS fits

The Citation XLS sits at the top of the light-jet category and is one of the most widely chartered business jets in service. It combines a stand-up-height cabin with short-field performance, which makes it unusually flexible across both city airports and smaller regional fields.

Choosing between this and the alternatives

If your typical trip is under an hour with three passengers, a smaller light jet costs less. For longer sectors, a midsize or super-midsize aircraft will be the better value. Compare hourly rates for every category in the private jet charter cost guide, and see the full light range on our light cabin aircraft page.
