Latitude Milestone
TEXTRON AVIATION has delivered the 100th Cessna Citation Latitude. The midsize jet was handed over to NetJets at the manufacturer’s headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, in early October. The milestone delivery comes just 26 months after the first Latitude entered service, with the global fleet surpassing 45,000 flight hours in that time. “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 bestin- 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, 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.”
