A Cabin Designed for the Trip - Stand Up. Stretch Out.

Passenger Cabin of Citation Business Jet N560AD
At 5 feet 8 inches tall, the Citation Excel stand-up cabin provides substantially more room than a typical light jet. Its wide, stand-up cabin gives passengers room to move around during flight rather than spending the entire trip confined to their seat. N560AD's cabin features fully reclining executive seating, a two-place divan, fold-out work tables, individual passenger controls, both USB and 110-volt power outlets, and Starlink In-Flight Wi-Fi. Take total control of the cabin temperature with passenger controls at your fingertips, for perfect comfort.  Whether you're working en route to a meeting or relaxing with your family, the cabin is designed to make the time aboard part of the trip—not simply time spent getting there.

Bring More Than a Carry-On

Satellite-Based Connectivity

WiFi Symbol


We're very proud to offer one of the most advanced onboard connectivity solutions available today, but we do recognize that in-flight internet technology continues to evolve.

Wi-Fi speed and performance during flight can be influenced by several factors—such as weather conditions, the number of connected users on board, antenna elevation, and the aircraft’s position within the satellite beam.

Additionally, bandwidth is shared among aircraft operating in the same airspace.
This means that in highly congested airspace passengers may experience slower connection speeds due to increased demand.
