Modifications to the recently certified Cessna Citation Longitude will push some deliveries out to early next year, while deliveries of legacy Citations are expected to be flat year-over-year as customer demand takes a pause because of economic and political uncertainty, Scott Donnelly, CEO of Textron Aviation parent company Textron, said this morning during a third-quarter earnings call. For the quarter, Textron Aviation delivered 45 jets, up from 41 in third-quarter 2018, while turboprop deliveries edged lower to 39 versus 43 in the same period last year.
