flyExclusive announced the reintroduction of its Citation XLS+ fractional ownership program, making flyExclusive the only operator in the industry offering fractional shares on the XLS+ platform. Fractional shares are available immediately, with pricing starting from $695,000 depending on share size. Additional XLS+ aircraft are expected to enter the program throughout 2026 to meet growing demand.

Unlike traditional fractional programs that layer on monthly management fees, flyExclusive XLS+ fractional 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.

Jim Segrave, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of flyExclusive commented: "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.  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."

Citation XLS+ — what sets it apart:

  • One of the widest and tallest cabins in its class, delivering a spacious, comfortable experience
  • Comfortable seating for up to 8 passengers
  • Satellite based Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Outstanding short-runway and hot-and-high performance, opening access to airports that larger aircraft cannot reach
  • Efficient operating economics

Fractional owners benefit from flyExclusive' vertically integrated model, with all maintenance, avionics, and refurbishment handled in-house at the company's Kinston, North Carolina campus. This ensures consistent aircraft quality, high availability, and lower operating costs passed through to owners.
