Asia Jet, one of the largest charter fleet service providers in Asia, launches today the latest member to its fleet, the first Cessna Citation XLS+ in Hong Kong & China. Unveiled by celebrity Jennifer Tse, Mike Walsh, CEO of Asia Jet and Trevor Esling, Vice President, International Sales Cessna (a Textron Company), the Citation XLS+ will be available for charter for Asia Jet's clients in the region starting from July 2011.
The Citation XLS+ is the latest version of the world's best-selling business jet model and offers Asia Jet customers a new affordable choice for shorter regional trips. The XLS+ is a great time saver in the air that opens up options to choose airports that may be closer to the customer's destination thereby reducing overall travel time. Its impressive climb rate is also a welcome asset when operating from airports with shorter runways or those in regions with mountainous terrain. The XLS+ is the latest version of the Citation Excel & XLS already in service in China. The XLS+ is extremely maintenance friendly as every system is designed with simplicity and easy access in mind.
Tailored to meet the needs of the business elite and jetsetters, Asia Jet's XLS+ offers the largest cabin in its class for 6 passengers. With a cabin head height of 173 centimeters, standing up and walking around the comfortable cabin is a simple affair. Fitted with a deluxe refreshment center with six fully-reclining, extra-wide seats, and individual TV monitors, this ultra modern state of the art cabin designed specifically for the Asian market exuberates comfort, luxury and efficiency. An aft bathroom with sliding privacy doors completes this elegant interior.
Entertainment service is further enhanced for on-demand charter passengers, thanks to Ultrasone Edition 8 Palladium headphones equipped in the XLS+ cabin, each handmade in Germany and holding its own serial number.
The Citation XLS+ has become the favorite jet of private owners, business travelers and fleet operators in other parts of the world and with its introduction to the growing market of China, supporting shorter trips to and from the most important business hubs in Asia – i.e. Hong Kong to Shanghai, Guangzhou to Beijing, Ho Chi Minh to Macau etc, the XLS+ is the choice for getting work done in the most time efficient manner across China and South East Asia. Asia Jet, with its expertise, assists elite travelers through its full range of consultancy services on technical and financial aspects in purchasing this desired jet, as well as managing the operation and maintenance of the aircraft for its owners.
