Textron Aviation has delivered its 100th Cessna Citation Longitude, the flagship of its business jet family. The milestone super-midsize jet, which the manufacturer rolled out in May, was delivered to a longtime Citation customer, the company announced today.

The Longitude entered service in 2019 and is manufactured at Textron’s facilities in Wichita. NetJets is a fleet operator of the Longitude, having placed orders and options for up to 175 of the model in 2018. The fractional provider also recently placed a record-breaking all-options order for up to 1,500 Cessna Citations over the next 15 years.
