Model & Market Context
This entry documents airframe N247RU, a 2017-built Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS+) bearing serial number 560-6241. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by ALLIANCE AIR II LLC, an LLC based in Burlington, North Carolina. Manufacturer information lists Textron Aviation Inc. as the producer; the airframe is a 2017 delivery-year example of the Cessna 560XL family. Publicly available registry action details and valuation history for this specific tail number are not published beyond the stated ownership and build data.
The cabin of this Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS+) airframe accommodates up to 13 seats, consistent with the model’s typical executive and charter configurations; specific internal layout and finish for this airframe are not published. With a cruise speed of 441 kts and a range of 2,100 nm, the aircraft is suitable for medium-haul corporate missions and high-utilization charter operations from its operator base region in Burlington, North Carolina. Powered by a pair of PW545C turbofans, operational considerations for this airframe center on typical Citation XLS+ maintenance cycles and periodic engine inspections for the 4,119 lbf class engines. Avionics fit for this particular serial is not published.
The Cessna 560XL (Citation XLS+) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range and cabin capacity for short- to mid-range corporate travel; this example, serial 560-6241, reflects the 2017 production standard. Competing models in the category typically include other light-medium business jets that emphasize similar cruise speeds and ranges, and buyer or charter demand for a 13-seat XLS+ often centers on operators needing higher passenger capacity without stepping into larger-cabin types. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow standard XLS+ practices, with attention to Textron-supported components and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engine maintenance records.
