The Citation Excel on the Miami–New York route
A 1,657-nautical-mile range covers the 1,000-mile corridor nonstop with a full cabin and reserves. At Mach 0.75 it flies the route in roughly 2.5 hours, with the same easy short-field manners as the later XLS+.
Cabin and baggage
The 18-foot-6 cabin offers full 5-foot-8 standing height and seats seven to eight in a club arrangement with an enclosed lavatory. A 80-cubic-foot baggage hold handles the group's luggage — full midsize comfort, often at a lower charter rate than newer aircraft.
Why travellers choose the Citation Excel
- Full stand-up cabin and enclosed lavatory
- A lower-cost route into the midsize class
