N588QS

This airframe, N588QS, is a 2007-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5721. It is recorded as owned by NetJets Sales Inc, a corporation based in Columbus, OH, US, and operates on a US civil registration. The airframe’s certificate and registry history reflect fractional/partnership transfer and management patterns typical of large fleet owners; ownership by NetJets Sales Inc is the primary notable transaction in the available record. The aircraft retains a market valuation in the region of $7,000,000, consistent with late-2000s XLS examples in active service.

The cabin of N588QS is configured in an executive layout consistent with fractional ownership operation, with typical accommodation ranging between eight and thirteen seats and a fractional configuration noted in the data. Avionics are installed as the Honeywell Primus 1000 / Honeywell-derived XLS suite, providing a modern integrated flight deck for the airframe’s generation. Operationally, the aircraft’s combination of range (1,858 nm) and cruise speed (441 kts) suits short-to-medium international and transcontinental missions under NetJets’ managed flight program, performing business transport and on-demand fractional flights from bases consistent with the operator’s US network. Maintenance and operational planning would follow fleet standards established by a corporate fractional owner, with emphasis on avionics commonality and PW545B engine support.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS occupies a light-medium business jet niche characterized by single-pilot certification possibilities in some configurations, comfortable executive cabins, and runway performance favorable to regional airports. Competing models in the market include offerings from Embraer’s Phenom/Legacy lines and certain Gulfstream or Bombardier light-cabin types in broader mission variants. For a 2007 serial like 560-5721, buyer and charter demand hinge on maintenance status, engine cycles on the PW545B pair, and the retained avionics package; resale considerations and valuation near $7,000,000 reflect age, fleet ownership history, and continued fractional utility.
