\u201cIn the second half of last year we saw a substantial\nincrease in super-midsize flight activity across Europe as individuals relied\non these products as a transportation solution,\u201d said Tom Perry, vice president\nof Sales, EMEA, Textron Aviation. \u201cThe introduction of the Longitude to the\nEuropean market will fulfil the international travel needs of many of our\ncustomers, while providing them peace of mind and convenience for both their\nbusiness and personal travel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The largest jet in the Cessna Citation lineup, the Longitude\nwas designed with business and return on investment at the forefront, with the\nlowest direct operating cost of any super-midsize jet. Capable of flying from\nGeneva to Dubai or Rome to New Delhi, the Longitude offers class-leading\ncomfort, the quietest cabin in class, and advanced connectivity for those\nfocused on staying productive in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a clean-sheet aircraft, the Longitude was designed with\ninnovation front of mind, and a cabin experience shaped around customer input\nand a broad range of mission capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Longitude\u2019s versatility has already enabled its utilization\nin multiple fields, from air ambulance to flight inspections,\u201d added Perry. \u201cWe\nhave one specially configured aircraft set to be delivered later this year,\noutfitted with flight inspection equipment to perform critical verification of\nnavigation aids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
