Cessna Citation XLS+ joins Luxaviation UK fleet

Luxaviation UK is adding a Cessna Citation XLS+ to its charter fleet.

The aircraft (G-GAAL) will be based at London Luton Airport with a fulltime crew, making it available for last-minute charters. Luxaviation UK, part of the Luxaviation Group, says it is currently the most recently refurbished XLS+ on the charter market.

George Galanopoulos, managing director of Luxaviation UK, said: “We are always looking for opportunities to add high quality aircraft to our fleet and the Citation XLS+ is a magnificent aircraft, able to reach all over Europe and North Africa from where it is based in the UK.”

The Citation XLS+ has room for eight passengers, including two crew, and has a maximum flying distance of 1,850 nm (3,430 km).

As well as the Citation XLS+ and a recently-added Challenger 604, Luxaviation UK’s fleet also includes five Embraer Legacy 600/650s and four Cessna Citation Excels. The Citation XLS+ joins the Luxaviation Group’s 270-strong global fleet.
