Citation XLS+

About the Citation XLS+

The Cessna Citation XLS+ is a true workhorse in the midsize private jet charter category, offering a compelling blend of performance and comfort that's hard to beat. Its standout feature is its remarkable short-field capability; with a takeoff distance of just 3,560 feet, it can slip into a huge variety of regional airports that larger jets simply can't touch. This gets you much closer to your actual destination, saving hours of ground transfer time. For popular charter routes like New York to Miami or Switzerland to London, its range of roughly 1,800 nautical miles (about 2,100 statute miles) is perfectly suited. Inside, the cabin is where the XLS+ really shines for passengers. With a stand-up height of 68 inches and a notably wide cabin, you can move around comfortably. It's typically configured for 7 to 9 passengers in plush, reclining leather seats, often including worktables and sometimes even a side-facing couch for extra flexibility. The baggage capacity is a major plus for charter clients planning longer trips; with around 80-90 cubic feet of external storage, there's ample room for everyone's luggage, golf clubs, or ski gear without having to make sacrifices. What truly sets the XLS+ apart in the competitive charter market is its unique economic proposition. It delivers all the cabin space and amenities you expect from a midsize jet, but it operates with costs that are much closer to those of a light jet. This balance makes it an incredibly popular and practical choice. Whether you're a business team needing to hit multiple smaller cities in a day, a family heading on vacation, or a small group traveling for an event, the Citation XLS+ offers efficient, comfortable, and flexible private jet charter.
