Kansas City Aviation Center expanded its Part 135-certified fleet in December 2024 with the addition of its first Citation Excel, ch-aviation research shows.
N785CC (msn 560-5275) was operated by Airshare (XSR, Kansas City Downtown) under its Part 135 certificate until September 2024. The 22.4-year-old jet was last active under the company's 'XSR' code on August 28, conducting test flights around Kansas City Executive and Kansas City New Century. After that, it continued to operate privately until November 20, flying between Mitchell Municipal and Kansas City Executive, where it remains parked.
With this addition, Kansas City Aviation Center now operates a charter fleet of nine aircraft, including a Citation Jet 3+, a Citation M2, a Citation Excel, a Citation Sovereign+, and five PC-12s.
In addition to charter flights, Kansas City Aviation Center offers aircraft management, maintenance, and sales solutions, and also runs a fixed-base operator (FBO) facility at Kansas City Executive Airport.
