Laurel Highlands Jet Center has retired its sole Citation XLS from its Part 135-certified fleet in November 2024, as revealed by ch-aviation research.
N21LH (msn 560-5822) is a 14.9-year-old jet operated by Laurel Highlands Jet Center since late 2021. It was originally registered in Brazil where it served for 11 years before being imported to the United States. Currently, it is not listed as a Part 135-certified aircraft.
The Citation XLS is the company's second aircraft retirement this year, following a Hawker 800XPi exited from the Part 135 fleet in June. Laurel Highlands Jet Center's Part 135 certificate now includes a single executive jet, a Citation Jet 3, in addition to an Epic E1000 turboprop added in November.
Laurel Highlands Jet Center, formerly known Vee Neal Aviation, offers aircraft management, charter, maintenance, and sales, running fixed-base operations (FBO) at Latrobe.
