Cessna Citation Excel Charter

The Excel on the route
A 1,657-nautical-mile range covers the 950-mile leg nonstop with reserves, and a 433-knot cruise puts the flight at about two and a half hours. A 45,000-foot ceiling allows cruising above much of the weather.
Cabin and luggage
An 18-foot-6 cabin gives full five-foot-eight standing height, an enclosed lavatory, and a galley — the same roomy cross-section as the XLS+. Around 80 cubic feet of luggage suits a group of up to eight.
Why travelers choose it
- A stand-up midsize cabin at a value rate
- An enclosed lavatory and a galley
- Nonstop New York to Miami in about 2.5 hours
- A very large fleet for strong availability
