Chairman Aviation, a Dallas-based fractional and private aviation membership company, has ordered a new Cessna Citation CJ3+ for delivery later this year—its second Citation jet purchase from Textron Aviation in 2019. The order, announced last week at NBAA-BACE 2019, marks the third Textron Aviation aircraft addition to its fleet. The company operates a Beechcraft King Air B200 and last month took delivery of a Cessna Citation X.
