flyExclusive expands Citation XLS+ fractional programme
Private aviation company flyExclusive announced the reintroduction of its Citation XLS+ fractional ownership programme.
“The XLS+ is one of the most capable and well-rounded midsize jets ever built, and our customers have made it clear they want fractional access to it,” said Jim Segrave, founder, chairman, and CEO of flyExclusive.
“We’re proud to be the only operator in the market offering this aircraft on a fractional basis. It’s a differentiated product at a price point that makes sense for owners who want real value without compromise.”
The company said that fractional shares will be available immediately, with pricing starting from $695,000 depending on share size. Additional XLS+ aircraft are expected to enter the programme throughout 2026 to meet growing demand.
Unlike traditional fractional programme that layer on monthly management fees, flyExclusive said its offering carries no monthly management fees, giving owners the economic benefits of direct ownership without the administrative burden.
“At its price point, the XLS+ fractional share offers a compelling value alternative to the Phenom 300 and Citation Ascend, delivering comparable or superior cabin comfort and performance at a lower entry cost,” the company said in a statement.
flyExclusive said that fractional owners will benefit from company’s vertically integrated model, with all maintenance, avionics, and refurbishment handled in-house at the company’s Kinston, North Carolina campus.
Earlier in January, flyExclusive announced the addition of two Challenger 350 aircraft to its fleet.
These additions bring flyExclusive’s Challenger fleet to eight aircraft. flyExclusive said that its Challenger fleet currently represents the most economically productive segment, driven by strong customer demand, broad mission flexibility, and favorable operating characteristics.
flyExclusive revenue increased 15% last year to $375.9m, driven by 56% increase in fractional revenue and 48% growth in MRO business.
