Live empty leg flights currently listed on the Cessna Citation XLS and XLS+, with the seats and the price each operator published, plus what the type is actually good for.
Checking availability on this type...
The most produced midsize jet in the world and the default aircraft for a two hour European charter. Its legs cluster tightly in summer, which tells you how hard these fly in season.
The seats and range above are published figures for the type. What an operator actually offers can differ by aircraft, cabin layout and fuel load, so treat them as the shape of the aircraft rather than a promise. The seat count shown on each flight is the one the operator published for that specific leg.

Working out which corridors this type is on...
These are counted from the flights currently listed, so they change as the board changes rather than describing the type in general.
We keep a page for these corridors, which is where this type has been turning up:
An empty leg exists because someone else already paid for the flight around it. The aircraft has to reach the client, or get home after dropping them, and that repositioning flight goes on the operator's site at a fraction of the charter price. The more an aircraft type is flown, the more empty legs it leaves behind, which is why the same handful of types fill most of this list.
