Cessna Citation XLS
The Cessna Citation XLS is one of the most popular private jets in the world, combining the range and comfort of a midsize jet with the accessibility and efficiency of a light jet. A part of Cessna’s Citation Excel series, the XLS is known for its spacious cabin, impressive performance, and modern technology. Whether for business or leisure travel, this jet offers a premium experience for private charter clients.
Performance Capabilities
The Cessna Citation XLS is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW545B turbofan engines, each producing 3,975 pounds of thrust. This powerful engine configuration enables the aircraft to achieve a maximum cruising speed of 441 knots (507 mph) and a range of 2,100 nautical miles. These performance metrics make the XLS perfect for regional and mid-range flights, allowing non-stop travel between city pairs such as New York to Miami or Los Angeles to Denver.
With short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, the Cessna Citation XLS requires a takeoff distance of just 3,560 feet and a landing distance of 3,180 feet. This allows it to operate from smaller regional airports and private airfields, providing unparalleled convenience for private charter clients. The aircraft can reach a maximum cruising altitude of 45,000 feet, ensuring smooth and efficient travel above commercial air traffic and turbulent weather.

Measuring 18 feet 6 inches in length, 5 feet 6 inches in width, and 5 feet 8 inches in height, the cabin offers a stand-up environment with ample room for passengers to move comfortably during the flight. Its flat-floor design enhances accessibility and overall in-flight experience.
The seating is arranged in a club configuration with fully reclining leather chairs, fold-out tables, and additional seating options for versatility. Large windows allow natural light to flood the cabin, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Advanced soundproofing minimizes cabin noise, ensuring a serene and relaxing environment for passengers.
