Chris Hearne, vice president, jets says: “Cessna is committed to new product development and the swift progress of the Citation CJ3+, from announcement to certification and on to the market, is a perfect example of that laser-like focus.”

“The CJ3+ incorporates the latest in technology for the cockpit and for the passenger cabin which is exactly what the customer has asked us to do, and that has always been a hallmark of Cessna’s new product innovations,” adds Hearne.

The Citation CJ3+ seats nine passengers, is certified for single pilot.

The aircraft is fitted with the Garmin, the G3000 integrated avionics suite.

The CJ3+ has a range of up to 2,070 nautical miles, and can fly passengers nonstop from Washington, DC, to Mexico City; or London to Moscow; or Shanghai to Bangkok; or Lima to São Paulo.
