Questions
How many passengers does the Citation X+ seat?
Up to 9 in a typical executive layout. Some aircraft are configured differently, so we confirm the exact seating for your trip when we quote.
How far can the Citation X+ fly?
The manufacturer quotes a range of about 3,400 nautical miles. With a normal load and reserves we plan on about 2,900 nm nonstop; winds, passengers and luggage all change it.
Can the Citation X+ fly London to Dubai nonstop?
London to Dubai is about 2,979 nm. That is close to its limit, so it is usually nonstop with a light load and calm winds, and sometimes needs a short fuel stop. We check on the day.
Can the Citation X+ cross the Atlantic?
London to New York is about 2,986 nm. Flying west into the prevailing winds it behaves more like 3,434 nm. It normally makes one fuel stop, often in Iceland, Ireland or Canada. For nonstop transatlantic flights we suggest a larger, longer-range jet.
How fast is the Citation X+?
It typically cruises at about 527 knots (976 km/h). London to Nice takes about 1h 25m.
How much luggage fits on the Citation X+?
The baggage hold takes about 82 cubic feet (2.3 m³). How many bags that means depends on their size and shape, so tell us what you are bringing, including skis, golf bags or pushchairs, and we will confirm it fits or suggest a larger aircraft.
