The Cessna Citation Jet was named the number one private jet-propelled aircraft of the month by Best of Luxury. Both the Cessna Citation Jet and the Cessna Citation XLS + made the top 10 list this month, taking two of the top 10 slots. Reliability, performance, handling, safety, and comfort make up the criteria list used to evaluate the aircraft.

The XLS+ has a cruising speed of 441 knots and 2,111 nautical-mile range.

The $20-million, super-midsize Bombardier Challenger 300 is the most expensive private jet on the top-10 list; the Cirrus Aircraft Vision SF 50, which is a small, personal jet, is the lowest price personal jet on the list at $1 million.
