Cessna offer inclusive service program for Citation Sovereign

                    
Cessna announced that it is offering a program covering all scheduled maintenance and parts costs for the Citation Sovereign aircraft for the first five years or 1,500 flight hours.

The “Sovereign Shield” program practically eliminates maintenance-related direct operating costs of model year 2013 Citation Sovereign aircraft, allowing owners to operate the Citation Sovereign for far less than other business jets in the midsize category.

“The Sovereign Shield program offers fantastic advantages for the Sovereign owner,” said Brad Thress, Cessna senior vice president, Business Jets. “Buyers can take possession of a 2013 Sovereign with confidence that the maintenance for the next five years is covered. Sovereign Shield is an industry-leading tip-to-tail service program which instills confidence and passes savings onto those customers who choose the Sovereign as their business tool.”

“If buyers think they know the Sovereign, it’s time to look again. The upgraded cabin management system in the Sovereign is a big hit with customers. They notice the longer cabin and are impressed with the all new interior, including wider seats, designed for maximum in-flight comfort,” Thress said. “Pilots are excited about the G5000 avionics. They like the split-screen options for the displays, and the reduced workload that comes with auto-throttles. These upgrades are inspired by customer feedback, and we can tell it is resonating positively with those who ride in the plane, and those who fly the plane.”

Kriya Shortt, senior vice president of Sales said “The nine-passenger Citation Sovereign is already known as a fantastic, efficient aircraft with superb short-field performance, allowing it to fly into most airports in the world.”

Shortt continued “Now the Sovereign brings exceptional payload capabilities and outstanding performance for hundreds of dollars less per hour than any other competing aircraft in its category.”
