The Citation Excel (model 560XL) invented the "midsize" category — stand-up cabin + short-runway capability + transcontinental US range. Over 900 delivered, which is why you still see them all over empty-leg feeds despite being out of production since 2004. Its best selling point for charter: the Excel can operate out of short runways that heavy jets can't — Aspen (KASE), Eagle (KEGE), Saint-Tropez (LFMV), Telluride (KTEX). If your destination is a small mountain airport, this aircraft is often your only mid-tier choice.
Empty-leg pricing typically $6,500–$12,000 for a US coast-to-coast leg.
