Citation Encore

Greenville-based light jet performance, with the comfort and safety standards our charter clients expect.

The 2008 Citation Encore+ is SSC’s answer when you need true jet speed, efficient operating economics, and the ability to use shorter runways common across the Southeast. Based at Greenville Downtown Airport (GMU), this Encore+ is ideal for business trips, family travel, and sports or event weekends throughout the Eastern U.S. and beyond.

With a stand-up-adjacent aisle, club seating, and generous baggage space, it delivers a quiet, comfortable ride whether you’re flying a quick hop to Atlanta or a nonstop mission to the Midwest or Florida.

Why Charter this 2008 Citation Encore+ with SSC?

• Jet performance with regional flexibility – The Encore+ offers impressive range and cruise speed while still being able to operate from many regional and secondary airports that keep you closer to your true destination.
• Greenville-based and locally managed – The aircraft is based at GMU and managed by the same SSC team that flies, fuels, and maintains it, so you deal with one organization from scheduling through post-flight follow-up.
• Comfortable executive cabin – A redesigned light-jet cabin with club seating, fold-out tables, and thoughtful lighting provides a productive workspace or a relaxing environment for families and leisure travelers.
• Serious baggage capacity – With both internal and external baggage space, the Encore+ comfortably handles business cases, golf clubs, skis, and overnight bags for the whole group.
• Safety-first operation – Operated under SSC’s Part 135 certificate with an ARGUS Gold rating, flown by experienced two-pilot crews, and supported by an in-house maintenance team that already knows the airplane.
• Seamless trip coordination – Ground transportation, catering, and schedule changes are all coordinated by SSC’s local dispatch team, so your experience is managed end-to-end.
