Cessna Citation Excel Charter

Published Jun 18, 2026

The Textron Aviation (Cessna) Citation Excel is the original of the best-selling Excel line — a stand-up midsize cabin at a value rate. It set the template the XLS+ refined, and it remains a sensible, comfortable choice for the corridor.

The Excel on the route

A 1,657-nautical-mile range covers the 950-mile corridor nonstop with reserves, and a 433-knot cruise puts the flight at about two and a half hours. A 45,000-foot ceiling keeps the ride smooth.


Cabin and baggage

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 baggage suits a group of up to eight.


Why travellers 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
