The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a performance niche delivering transcontinental short- to mid-range capability, reflected in this airframe’s 1,847 nm range, 429 kt cruise, and 45,000 ft ceiling. Demand among owner-operators and charter operators typically balances cabin comfort with efficient operating economics, a dynamic reflected in the airframe’s estimated market value of $3,000,000.
