Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2 light jet to make NBAA-BACE show debut
Textron Aviation’s business jet lineup showcases practical innovation, connectivity and trusted support designed to help customers operate with confidence
The Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2, designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, will make its National Business Aviation Association Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) show debut alongside other Cessna Citation aircraft representing the light, midsize and super-midsize jet segments. The lineup demonstrates the strength of the Cessna Citation business jet family, pairing the latest Citation innovations with proven platforms.
“At Textron Aviation, innovation starts with listening to our customers and finding new ways to improve every aspect of aircraft ownership—from the pilot experience in the cockpit to the support customers rely on throughout the life of the aircraft,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing. “The Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2 reflects that commitment, with customer-driven enhancements that create value for pilots, passengers and operators. At NBAA-BACE, attendees will see that same approach across the Citation family through innovations, services and support designed to help customers operate with confidence.”
