CESSNA CITATION XLS. ULTRA LUXURY
and the NEW CITATION XLS+PLUS.
Easy "hops" over to the islands for sun, sand and sea.Eliminate long hours of waiting in the airport terminals and spend more long weekends and holidays aboard your yacht. At private airports you can drive up
to your aircraft, board directly and be airborne within minutes, on your way to your destination.
The Citation XLS is fast (Cessna reports 493 miles per hour) and the XLS+Plus
is faster, larger (cabin length is 56 inches longer than the Bravo), boasts a
flying range of over 2,100 non-stop nm, and is equipped with the very latest avionics.
In fact, many features are now included as standard that were previously expensive
options. Usually featured with seating for eight passengers, certified seating
for nine can be configured with a belted divan.
Because it delivers more power, the aircraft has a much faster climb time,
reaching altitude and leveling off sooner so passengers can move about the cabin,
refreshments and hors d'oeuvres can be served or brunch prepared, etc. Quicker
climb and landing times encourage stopovers along the way to pick up additional
friends or family members or spontaneous visits to exotic locales along the way.
While airborne, there is complete world-wide communications for last minute
business matters, confirmations for transportation on arrival at the airport or
conversations with the yacht crew or captain regarding estimated arrival time
or cast off instructions and arrangements for the cruise.
Once you land, your aircraft can usually stay with you because you are not
on a charter time schedule. You have the freedom to change your mind, change your
itinerary or even change your clothes.
The convenience of a private jet is incomparable.While the XLS is more expensive than the slightly smaller Citation Bravo, it is our choice for leisure travel when a larger yet light jet is desired. The actual
operating costs compare surprisingly well with the smaller crafts and, with proper management and full capacity, the XLS can prove to be an economical and enjoyable choice.
Furthermore, the overall expenses are greatly reduced as they are shared among
co-owners. Additionally, the XLS has the reputation as a first-class aircraft
which can be offered for charter when owners have not scheduled flights.
For the children. Because it's a private flight, children can be entertained and cared for, pets easily accommodated and luggage assured proper handling. You arrive much
less traumatized and without disappointments over lost pets or luggage. Owners fly when they want, where they want, 24/7, with only their invited guests. It is very comforting to know that the plane will not depart until all passengers
arrive and are comfortably and safely aboard.
