Inside The $15 Million Cessna Citation XLS+
Inside The $15 Million Cessna Citation XLS+ Private Jet
This is the Cessna Citation XLS+, the evolution of one of the best-selling jets of all time that features a redesigned cabin and cockpit. Airframe by Cessna, engines from Pratt & Whitney, avionics by Collins. In a world where we all wonder what became of the blue-chip companies, these three names are still rock-solid leaders in business aviation. So it is only natural that they would team up to make the Citation XLS, the bestselling business jet for many years, even better as the new Plus model.
The airplane has been an industry leader ever since Cessna put a traditional midsize cabin on its high-technology straight wing back in 1998. Teamed with the Pratt 545 series turbofans, the low-drag wing delivered cruise speeds well above 400 knots, exceptional climb performance, and the short runway and low-speed docile handling characteristics of a straight wing.
The base purchase price for a new Cessna Citation XLS+ is $15 million before options, and the charter price is estimated at $5,000 to $8,000 per hour.
While the annual fixed cost is roughly $500,000 to $750,000, the average hourly operating cost is estimated at $2,500 to $4,000.
Here is everything you need to know about the Cessna Citation XLS+.
