NetJets put some more distance between itself and mere market mortals at the Paris Air Show last month with an order for 96 new Cessna Citations valued at more than $1 billion.

The order consists of 50 Citation Encore+s, 37 XLS+s and nine Citation Xs, all of which have already been allotted spots in the production schedule, said Roger Whyte, Cessna senior vice president of sales and marketing. Deliveries of the Encore+s will start next year, with deliveries of the XLS+s and Citation Xs beginning in 2009 and 2010.
