flyExclusive has reintroduced its Citation XLS+ fractional ownership programme, becoming the only operator offering fractional shares on the midsize jet.
Shares are available immediately with pricing starting from $695,000 depending on share size. The company expects additional XLS+ aircraft to enter the programme during 2026 as demand expands.
The offering removes the monthly management fees typically associated with fractional ownership programmes. flyExclusive says the structure allows customers to gain the economic benefits of direct aircraft ownership without the administrative burden usually associated with managing an aircraft.
The company positions the XLS+ fractional share as an alternative to aircraft such as the Phenom 300 and Citation Ascend. According to flyExclusive, the aircraft delivers comparable or greater cabin comfort and performance at a lower entry cost. The Citation XLS+’s short-runway capability and hot-and-high performance also allow it to operate from airports inaccessible to larger business jets.
“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,” says 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.”
flyExclusive says the programme is supported by its vertically integrated operating model, with maintenance, avionics and refurbishment completed in-house at the company’s campus in Kinston, North Carolina. The company says this approach helps maintain aircraft quality while improving availability and controlling operating costs.
