flyExclusive, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: FLYX) (“flyExclusive” or the “Company”), a provider of private jet services, today announced the addition of its first Cessna Citation XLS Gen2 business jet to the Company’s operating certificate.

“Our fleet refresh remains an important focus for us,” said Jim Segrave, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of flyExclusive. “Adding the XLS Gen2 gives our customers a well-balanced aircraft option and strengthens our mid-jet capabilities.”
