Cessna Citation XLS history

Cessna launched Citation Excel, the series’s first aircraft, in 1998. Over the next ten years, numerous performance enhancements and cabin upgrades culminated in the delivery of the XLS and later, in 2008, the XLS +. The Citation XLS + offers the wide range of all Excel aircraft in the Super Light category, creating nearly 3500 km of uninterrupted flight. It also has an extremely spacious cabin that can easily accommodate 8 passengers, with 6 single seats and a two-seater front sofa. The XLS + also flies at high speed and is certified for landing on short airfields that are not accessible to larger aircraft but are often closer to the actual destination of your journey. Efficient, comfortable and direct, Cessna‘s latest model Excel series is ideal for short-haul flights and is particularly popular for intra-European flights, e.g. for business trips or weekend trips.

The spacious cabin of the Citation XLS+ is comparable to the interior of a midsize-jet. It features a comfortable headroom. Up to nine passengers can enjoy the flight in the comfortable expanded leather seats. Because of a huge luggage compartment this jet is perfect for golfing – and skiing trips.
