In 2004, the Cessna Aircraft Company released a new 560XL model, which was later renamed to the Cessna Citation XLS, representing an evolution of the Excel. The Cessna Citation XLS is a super-light business jet that combines the comfort of a business aircraft with a high passenger compartment where a person can move full-length as well as having versatility of use. A nice feature of the Cessna Citation XLS jet is its fuel efficiency, which is a distinctive characteristic of Cessna's small light jets.
