Model & Market Context

The airframe registered as N135CL is a 2021-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with manufacturer serial 560-6312, produced by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The aircraft is owned by KS AIR 3-7-12 VI LLC, a corporate owner based in Charlotte, NC, US, and carries a United States registration. Valued at approximately $12,500,000, this airframe represents a modern certified Citation XLS+ example delivered in 2021 and maintained for corporate or charter use. Registration and ownership are recorded to a Charlotte-based corporate entity, reflecting its operator/home base linkage and commercial ownership structure.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in a typical 7–9 place executive club layout with forward galley and aft enclosed lavatory and is commonly fitted for 8–13 seats depending on operator configuration; the listed configuration capacity is 13 seats. Avionics are typically the Collins Pro Line 21 suite for the XLS+ variant, supporting standard corporate navigation and avionics capabilities for its mission set. Typical operations for this aircraft center on short- to mid-range corporate and charter missions within its 1,720 nm range and cruise speeds near 441 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Charlotte, NC, US. Maintenance considerations reflect twin PW545C engines and the certification standards of the Citation XLS+ model; cabin fit and galley/lavatory placement support executive transport and charter flexibility.

As a Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+, serial 560-6312 occupies the fixed-wing multi-engine business jet niche with performance oriented toward high single-pilot capability, transcontinental regional missions, and high cruise speeds up to 441 kts. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and a typical executive cabin layout, demand tends to favor corporate owners and charter operators seeking a balance of speed, range, and passenger capacity up to 13. The aircraft’s 2021 build year and its $12,500,000 valuation position it as a late-model XLS+ with corresponding resale and maintenance considerations tied to modern avionics and PW545C engine support.
