The midsize workhorse of charter fleets — common enough that 'an XLS or similar' is practically a category of its own.

Operator fleet on record

Which Citation 560XL you may fly
All five are Textron's Model 560XL, certified for up to 12 passengers. In the FAA operator records we track, the Excel, XLS and XLS+ are listed under separate model names, so the fleet count on this page covers the XLS only.
