Jet Linx Fleet Spotlight: Cessna Citation XLS+

Slightly larger and more comfortable than Light Jets, Midsize Jets offer added capability and range, as well as more versatility and flexibility for a range of different mission profiles.

Nearly one-third of all flights carried out at Jet Linx are completed by our fleet of Midsize Jets. The Cessna Citation Excel offers exceptional value and comfort no matter your mission profile, which explains its popularity among our Jet Card Members and Aircraft Owners. 

The Cessna Citation XLS+ debuted in 2008 and is an improved version of the Citation Excel (1998 to 2004) and the Citation XLS (2004 to 2009). Building on the company’s extensive experience and aviation expertise, this Midsize Jet was designed to provide a perfect balance of comfort, runway performance, and versatility for private flight enthusiasts and business travelers alike. Similar to the Citation Excel and Citation XLS, the Citation XLS+ combines transcontinental range and efficiency to deliver a remarkably reliable Midsize Jet.

Powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines, this Midsize Jet can cruise at impressive speeds, reaching up to approximately 500 mph, making it one of the swiftest options in its category. Furthermore, the XLS+ boasts a maximum range of around 2,400 miles, which opens up a world of possibilities for non-stop travel. Whether you’re planning a transcontinental business trip or a leisurely escape to your favorite destination, the XLS+ has the range to get you there efficiently and comfortably. The XLS+ requires approximately 3,560 feet of runway to takeoff and 3,619 to land, meaning that it can land and takeoff from a range of remote runways.

Although the Citation XLS+ offers amazing short-runway performance, range and durability, what truly sets the aircraft apart is the cabin. With a spacious and well-appointed interior, the XLS+ cabin adds LED lighting, Wifi, wider seats, and rejuvenated styling with a new color pallet. The cabin can accommodate up to nine passengers in its 461 cubic-foot cabin.

Passengers are greeted by plush, customizable seating, providing optimal comfort during long private flights. The cabin seating configuration includes a two-place divan, four club seats with fold-out tables, and two additional single seats. The lavatory features a belted toilet and small hanging closet for storage. The cabin also retains sea-level pressurization at altitudes as high as 25,000 feet, allowing Jet Linx clients to arrive at their destinations feeling more refreshed.

Midsize Jets strike a perfect balance, offering the performance capabilities of larger aircraft while maintaining the versatility and cost-effectiveness of smaller ones. Midsize private jets make up nearly one third of all flights booked with Jet Linx. With greater passenger capacity, baggage space, and range compared to smaller aircraft, midsize jets offer versatility for private travel. It’s no wonder that the Citation XLS+ remains one of the most-requested types in our nationwide fleet.
