N708M

This airframe, registered as N708M, is a Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 560-5194. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company and is registered in the US. Ownership records show the aircraft is held by BAS PART SALES LLC, a limited liability company based in Greeley, CO, US, an ownership detail that may reflect a non-operational or parts-oriented role in the current fleet context. The combination of build year and owner type suggests this airframe has transitioned from conventional charter or corporate service into an ownership structure focused on parts disposition or asset management.

The cabin for this airframe is configured in a typical executive layout common to Excel models, described as a 7–9 place executive layout with forward refreshment center and aft lavatory, accommodating up to 13 certified seats in some configurations. Avionics fit is listed as the typical Honeywell avionics suite, consistent with many Excel/XLS examples and supporting common corporate and charter avionics capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short to mid-range corporate and charter hops within the aircraft’s 1,847 nm radius at cruise speeds around 429 kts, operating from regional airports to major business centers. Given the listed owner and role, maintenance considerations may include preservation for parts recovery or selective component overhaul if returned to active service.

The Cessna Citation Excel (560XL) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental short‑range performance and higher cruise speeds relative to older light jets. Competitors historically include similar class jets offering 7–9 passenger comfort and 40,000+ ft service ceilings; the Excel family is notable for a balance of cabin comfort and operating economy. Market and resale considerations for a 2001 Excel with this ownership profile often focus on maintenance status, avionics commonality (Honeywell), and engine time since the PW545A is a well-supported model—factors that influence demand for either return-to-service or parts salvage.
