Cessna Citation XLS+ charter FAQ
Is $3,600–$5,200 an hourly rate for the Cessna Citation XLS+ specifically?
No. $3,600–$5,200 per hour is the 2026 midsize jets band on this site. The Cessna Citation XLS+ is priced in that band, not from a separate rate card. New York to Miami, New York to Chicago, and Chicago to Aspen are domestic, and the 7.5 percent federal excise tax is already inside those ranges.
How many passengers does the Cessna Citation XLS+ seat?
The published typical layout is 8 seats, up to 9. Cabin height is 5 ft 8 in and cabin width is 5 ft 6 in. A high-density seat count is not the cabin to assume for a charter.
Can the Cessna Citation XLS+ fly the routes linked on this page?
New York to Miami is 978 nm, inside the published range of 2,100 nm. New York to Chicago is 638 nm, inside the published range of 2,100 nm. Chicago to Aspen is 911 nm, inside the published range of 2,100 nm. Aspen publishes a 95-foot wingspan limit. This page does not list a wingspan for the Cessna Citation XLS+, so the operator checks the tail.
