Cessna has handed over the first Citation Mustang for service in India to IRM Limited during a delivery ceremony.

The ceremony in Independence, Kansas was attended by B.V. Suresh, executive vice president of IRM Limited. The first Mustang in India will be based at the company’s facility in Ahmedabad.

Brad Thress, Cessna senior vice president of business jets said: “The Mustang is a great fit for IRM Limited, and perfect for operation in India out of Ahmedabad. From the west coast, passengers have non-stop access to practically every part of India. The Mustang can get in and out of places that might be tough for other aircraft to access, thanks to its short field performance and a full-fuel range of 1,150 nautical miles.”

“We expect the Mustang to play a key role in helping us provide fast, convenient business solutions for our clients,” said B.V. Suresh.

“The Mustang will be able to reach many more parts of Gujarat State and the major metro cities of Mumbai and Delhi; routes which take much longer to reach using ground transportation,” added Suresh.

“Having this business tool enables our executives and clients to access places difficult to reach with commercial travel in a convenient and efficient manner. Business aviation enables economic progress – our clients stand to benefit from the speed and utility of the Mustang,”
