Textron Aviation's extensive range

Textron Aviation displayed 11 of its commercial business jet and turboprop aircraft, including the public debut of the Cessna Citation Longitude super-midsize business jet (pic).

“As evidenced by our extensive line-up at the show, no other aircraft manufacturer offers the broad range of products that we do. We are excited to expand our product offering even further with the new Citation Longitude, which will be a revolution in the super-midsize segment,” said Kriya Shortt, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “The Citation Longitude is a perfect example of our commitment to meet our customers’ mission needs through continued product investment.”

In addition to the Citation Longitude, Textron Aviation also showcased its Cessna Citation Latitude, the company’s newest certified Citation business jet. The Latitude, which received FAA certification in June, is on track to achieve European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification by the end of the year.

Rounding out the company’s display of jets were the Citation X+, Citation Sovereign+, Citation XLS+, Citation CJ4, Citation CJ3+ and the Citation M2. “We’re thrilled to unveil the future of this larger Citation family. The debut of the Longitude has been highly anticipated among prospective customers, industry observers and our Textron Aviation team members,” said Scott Ernest, Textron Aviation President and CEO.
