Why it's chartered

About the Citation XLS

The Citation XLS is the successor to the Citation Excel — same cabin, same short-runway capability, upgraded avionics, slightly faster cruise. It's the single most-chartered midsize jet in the world. Boeing Business Jet divisions, pro sports teams, Fortune 500 commuter fleets, Hollywood A-list — the XLS is everywhere.

Why it matters for charter: widely available empty legs on almost every major US-EU route, competitive pricing (it's a mature airframe with many operators), and it flies into airports other midsize jets can't (Aspen, Eagle, Saint-Tropez, Ibiza). Empty-leg pricing $6,500–$14,000 typical for US cross-country.
