Cessna Citation XLS+ Overview
The Citation XLS+ is produced by Textron Aviation (Cessna) in the United States. It is an upgraded version of the earlier XLS model, featuring more powerful engines (Pratt & Whitney PW545C), a refreshed cabin, and modern avionics. These enhancements give the XLS+ a balance of comfort, performance, reliability and efficiency — making it popular among private owners, corporate operators, and charter services.
Aircraft Features
Range and Performance
The Citation XLS+ offers a maximum range of approximately 2,100 nautical miles (3,889 km), enabling non-stop flights such as London to Istanbul or Geneva to Riyadh. It cruises at around 430–441 knots and operates efficiently from runways under 1,100 metres in length. This allows access to smaller airports while maintaining strong speed and range for regional connectivity.
Cabin Comfort and Configuration
The XLS+ typically seats 8 passengers, with a maximum capacity of up to 9 depending on configuration. The cabin measures approximately 5.64 m in length, 1.68 m in width, and 1.73 m in height, offering generous headroom and shoulder space. The layout includes club seating, sliding and reclining chairs, a side-facing divan, and an enclosed lavatory, creating a relaxed and professional environment for work or rest.
Onboard Amenities
Passengers benefit from a fully equipped galley, an aft lavatory, and externally accessible baggage space totalling over 80 ft³. The cabin also features triple-sealed doors and sound insulation for a quiet in-flight experience, while options such as mood lighting and climate control enhance comfort on board.
Technology and Flight Deck
The XLS+ is equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, offering four large displays, flight management systems, and intuitive controls that enhance pilot situational awareness. The PW545C engines contribute to efficient performance and reduced operating costs, while the cockpit design supports fast startup and streamlined flight operations.
