Houston Jet Direct Management and Charter (Houston Hobby) expanded its Part 135-certified fleet in November 2024 with the addition of a first Citation XLS+, as revealed through ch-aviation research.
N560TE (msn 560-6038) was operated privately before joining Houston Jet Direct's fleet. The 15.3-year-old jet has been registered in the United States throughout its entire service life.
The Citation XLS+ joins eight additional aircraft under the Part 135 certificate of Houston Jet Direct, including two Challenger 300s, a Challenger 350, a Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000LXS, two Learjet 45s, a Learjet 45XR, and a Learjet 75.
According to Houston Jet Direct's website, the operator expects the induction of the first Citation Latitude soon. The aircraft management and private jet specialist operated a Part 135-certified Citation Sovereign until December 2023.
