The Citation X is one of the most preferred aircraft in the charter industry. The Citation X is most commonly known as the fastest corporate aircraft, capable of mach .92 maximum cruising speed. On a coast to coast flight, the Citation X has been known to shave off 30-45min off of typical coast to coast times compared to other comparable and even larger corporate aircraft. Standard seating capacity is also very favorable, allowing for 8 passengers in an executive configuration, all captain’s chairs.

Just because you may own your own aircraft or take part in fractional ownership, doesn’t mean you don’t have a need for charter aircraft from time to time. As an aircraft owner, you know your aircraft is subject to wear and tear and doesn’t take much for a mechanical situation to interrupt what seemed to be a perfect meeting or vacation. Most aircraft owners do not have a charter company that they can rely on to handle any on-demand need, worldwide, for those just in case scenario. A reputable charter provider can be the non-contractual ace up your sleeve in the event you have a need for a back-up aircraft. As a fractional owner, you may require an aircraft not provided in your program or maybe a particular trip may cost 30%-50% less by chartering versus using your hours. I can guarantee your fractional program will not advise you on what trips make sense to charter and which make sense to use program hours. Many 25hr card holders can maximize their investment by comparing pricing on a trip by trip basis with on-demand charter. You will find that with most trips, 25hr card holders are paying almost double what they can charter the same aircraft for without sacrificing safety, service or anything else for that matter.
