Cessna Citation Excel/XLS FAQ

How many Cessna Citation Excel/XLS are there?

The aircraft registries we evaluate (mainly the FAA) list 1,333 Cessna Citation Excel/XLS. That is not the worldwide total: aircraft from countries without an open registry are missing. Our tracker has seen 937 jets of this type via ADS-B and recorded 18,979 flights in the last 30 days.

Who flies a Cessna Citation Excel/XLS?

Most flights in the last 30 days under an operator callsign were by flyExclusive (1,772 flights), NetJets (1,494 flights) and Jet Linx (569 flights). Public sources also attribute a jet of this type to Dale Earnhardt Jr., which says nothing about who is on board. Many aircraft also belong to companies or individuals and fly under their registration.

How far can a Cessna Citation Excel/XLS fly?

Jets in the Midsize jet class typically fly around 3,700 km nonstop with reserves and a normal payload, at about 780 km/h cruise speed with 7–9 passengers. The individual model may differ depending on the version.

How much does an hour on a Cessna Citation Excel/XLS cost?

Charter prices for the Midsize jet class are typically €4,500–€6,000 per block hour, plus airport and handling fees. The free cost calculator gives an estimate for your route; empty legs are often much cheaper.

How much CO₂ does a Cessna Citation Excel/XLS emit per hour?

At a class-typical fuel burn of 700 kg of jet fuel per hour, it emits around 2,210 kg of CO₂ per flight hour (3.16 kg of CO₂ per kg of fuel). We use this value to estimate the emissions of recorded flights, too.

Challenger, Citation or Gulfstream: when jets reposition without passengers, operators often sell the seats at a steep discount.

Data sources & notes

Data source: public ADS-B data

All positions come from publicly broadcast ADS-B signals that every aircraft transmits unencrypted and that volunteers around the world receive. Data may be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate.

Linking an aircraft to a well-known person is based on public sources such as media reports and registry data. "Jet attributed to X" explicitly does not mean that this person is on board or ordered the flight. Aircraft are also chartered, sold or used by others.

All information is provided without warranty; no liability is accepted for accuracy or completeness. CO₂ figures are estimates based on typical fuel burn for the aircraft class.

Using this data to harass, track or stalk people is prohibited.
