About this aircraft
The Citation VI was a cost-focused derivative of the Citation III/VII midsize line—simplified systems aimed at operators who wanted swept-wing midsize speed without full VII equipment.
It occupies a narrower niche than Excel/XLS in today's market but remains part of Citation midsize history. Cabins follow the III-family midsize layout.
Less common in empty-leg feeds than XLS, but relevant for specialized midsize fleets.
