Valley Air Service expanded its Part 135-certified fleet in November 2024 with the addition of its second executive jet, a Citation XLS.
N97AJ (msn 560-5609) is an 18.8-year-old aircraft configured to seat up to nine passengers. The jet, registered in the United States throughout its entire service life, was privately operated before joining Valley Air Service's charter fleet.
The Citation XLS joins a 41.1-year-old Citation II on Valley Air Service’s Part 135 certificate, with both jets based at Chicago West.
