The airframe is recorded as owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US. There are no notable registry actions published for this specific airframe in the supplied data, and valuation or condition details are Not published. The frame’s lineage ties it to the NetJets fleet/ownership structure through the listed corporate owner.

This airframe carries an executive cabin layout, typically configured for 8–13 passengers with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, consistent with Citation Excel/XLS interiors; the supplied seat capacity for this specific airframe is 13. Avionics fit for the model is within the Honeywell Primus-class family as is typical for Excel/XLS-equipped airframes, supporting the aircraft’s operational use in corporate charter, fractional ownership repositioning, and business transportation missions. With a cruise speed of 433 kts and a range of 1,847 nm, common mission profiles for this airframe include medium-haul US transcontinental hops and point-to-point regional business travel from the operator’s base in Oklahoma City, OK. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect typical fleet-oriented practices for corporate-owned Citation Excels, emphasizing standardized avionics, two-engine PW545B supportability, and cabin turns for fractional or charter scheduling.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and transcontinental capability with a 45,000 ft ceiling and PW545B engines producing 3,991 lbf each. Competing models in its class historically include late-model light midsize jets from other manufacturers, and buyer or charter demand for Excel-series aircraft often centers on fractional ownership and corporate fleets, markets in which a corporate owner such as NETJETS SALES INC is an active participant. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect the benefits of fleet maintenance programs, common avionics architecture (Honeywell Primus-class), and the support ecosystem for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500-series engines.
