Textron Aviation delivered 40 Cessna Citations in the second quarter, down from 49 in the same period last year, though a stronger opening quarter left the manufacturer just three business jets behind its first-half 2025 pace. Commercial turboprop deliveries, however, climbed to 44 from 34 a year ago.

The Wichita-based Textron subsidiary posted revenues of $1.5 billion, up 1% ($22 million) from second-quarter 2025. The gain came from $17 million more in aircraft revenues and $5 million more from aftermarket parts and services, according to parent Textron Inc., with the aircraft side driven by pricing and held back by volume and mix.
