Textron Makes 100th Delivery of Cessna Citation Latitude Business Jet



Textron Aviation is in the process of delivering its 100th Cessna Citation Latitude midsize business jet.

The milestone aircraft, which comes 26 months after the first Latitude entered service, will be handed over to NetJets at Textron Aviation headquarters in Wichita, KS.

“We set out to redefine this segment by investing in a new product with features our customers told us they wanted: large-cabin amenities and best-in-class operating costs. Delivering 100 Latitudes in just over two years is a testament that we’ve got the ideal combination,” said Rob Scholl, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Textron Aviation. “There’s no better endorsement than the fact that our longtime customer NetJets reports it as the best-selling aircraft in its fleet.”

NetJets extended its total Latitude order to 200 aircraft when it took its first delivery in June 2016.

“The Latitude is one of the most outstanding midsize cabin jets in the industry. It meets our Owners’ and our own high standards for performance and safety,” said Doug Henneberry, executive vice president of aircraft asset management for NetJets. “We are proud to have Latitudes in our fleet, and we’re excited to celebrate this milestone delivery with our industry partner.”

Textron Aviation delivered 42 Citation Latitudes in 2016, making it the most delivered midsize jet in the world for that year.
