For a second time, Textron Aviation has accomplished what only two other airframers have: delivering more than 1,000 copies of a business jet model.

On March 31, the Wichita, Kansas airframer announced it had handed over the 1,000th Cessna Citation 560XL series business jet. The milestone Citation XLS+ was delivered to a customer in the northeastern U.S. and will be managed and operated by Custom Jet Charters, a Part 135 operator with locations at Palm Beach (Florida) International and Westchester County (New York) airports.
