N139XL

This airframe, registered as N139XL, is a 2013-build Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ with serial number 560-6139. The aircraft is owned by the Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, a government entity based in Austin, TX, US, and carries U.S. transport registration. Registered for FAA transport use with a 13-seat configuration, the airframe is documented in government registry records and is commonly presented in executive finish in photographs and sales listings. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

FAA transport registration lists 13 seats for N139XL, while photographs and public listings indicate an executive interior with a forward refreshment center, mid-cabin club seating and an enclosed aft lavatory; the airframe is commonly operated in 8–9 passenger executive layouts for typical missions. Avionics are recorded as the Collins Pro Line 21 as a typical fit, with Garmin G5000 available via STC or upgrade for operators seeking a modernized flight deck. The aircraft’s performance — including a long-range capability of 2,100 nm and cruise speed of 441 kts — suits regional and transcontinental government and institutional travel missions originating from its Austin, Texas home base. Maintenance considerations follow the Citation XLS+ program for twin‑engine PW545C-equipped airframes, with operator-driven outfitting choices influencing inspection and interior refurbishment cycles.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range and cabin flexibility sought by institutional and charter operators. Competing models include other midsize jets that target transregional missions; demand often favors XLS+ examples with upgraded avionics such as Garmin G5000. For buyers and fleet managers, lifecycle and resale considerations hinge on documented maintenance, interior configuration (transport vs. executive), and avionics fit, all of which are directly pertinent to the marketability of airframes like N139XL.
