Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N157XL, is a 2013-built example of the Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+, bearing serial number 560-6157. The aircraft is owned by FRONTENAC PROPERTIES INC, a corporation based in Chesterfield, MO, US, and is registered in the United States. Current ownership is recorded to a corporate operator in Chesterfield, Missouri, and the airframe carries a reported market valuation of $7,590,479. The aircraft’s condition and specific registry actions beyond ownership listing are not published in the provided data.

The cabin is described as a typical executive layout with a forward galley, club-four seating, two single aft seats and a belted lavatory; the operator may configure an 8–9 passenger layout for alternate missions. Avionics fit is the Collins Pro Line 21, the typical suite for XLS+ installations, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight-management capabilities appropriate for demanding corporate operations. With a 2,100 nm range and high cruise speed, this airframe suits short‑to‑mid‑range corporate missions, regional business travel and on-demand charter where the owner’s corporate base in Chesterfield can act as a home operating point. Maintenance considerations follow typical mid‑size business jet practice for the model and engines, with the PW545C turbofan shop visit and avionics support driven by the Pro Line 21 commonality.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ occupies a performance niche as a light-to-mid-size business jet offering high cruise speed, transcontinental range for certain missions and a pressurized cabin for up to 13 seats in certification. Competing models in this segment include other light/mid cabin jets offering similar speed and range profiles; buyer and charter demand generally favors well-equipped, Pro Line 21‑equipped XLS+ airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect cumulative engine time, avionics standardization and the documented corporate ownership and valuation provided.
