Cessna Aircraft racked up orders for 156 Citation CJ3s (of which 100 are for NetJets and 25 for CitationShares) in the two days following its launch on the opening day of last month’s NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla. The new CJ3 is a stretched derivative of the hot-selling Citation CJ2–itself a stretched derivative of its popular CitationJet/CJ1.

Senior v-p of marketing Roger Whyte said the company is “confident that the CJ3 will meet the market’s demand and repeat the success of the CitationJet, CJ1 and CJ2.” To date, 359 CitationJets and more than 130 CJ1s and 90 CJ2s have been delivered.
