The Cessna Citation Excel is a versatile mid-size business jet, combining the comfort of larger jets with the operational flexibility of smaller aircraft. Introduced by Cessna in 1996, the Citation Excel is part of the highly successful Citation family and is celebrated for its reliability, spacious cabin, and competitive performance. Its blend of cost-efficiency and comfort makes it a favorite for business and private travel. The Citation Excel is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines, each producing 3,804 pounds of thrust. These engines enable the aircraft to reach a maximum cruise speed of 433 knots (486 mph) and cover a range of approximately 1,850 nautical miles, ideal for regional or medium-haul routes. With a takeoff distance of just 3,590 feet, the Excel can operate from smaller airports, providing convenience for travelers. The spacious cabin is designed to seat up to 7 passengers, offering a stand-up height of 5.7 feet and a width of 5.5 feet. The aircraft features a luxurious interior with fully reclining leather seats, a refreshment center, and an enclosed lavatory. Large windows and soundproofing enhance passenger comfort, while the flat-floor design provides ease of movement during flights. The cockpit of the Citation Excel is equipped with the Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite, offering advanced navigation, weather radar, and autopilot systems. This setup reduces pilot workload and increases operational safety, making it a favorite among operators for its straightforward handling and dependable performance. As of Q2 2024, the list price of the Cessna Citation Excel is $10,300,000.
