Cessna Citation Latitude Debuts At ABACE '18 Textron Aviation's Cessna brand has debuted the Citation Latitude at the ongoing 2018 Asian Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (ABACE) in Shanghai, China. The debut is highlighted by recent CAAC certification and subsequent initial deliveries into the Chinese region. Patrons at the show -which started yesterday for the public- have been seeing the aircraft on static display.
Since its market introduction in 2015, the Latitude has reigned as the best-selling midsize business jet in the world, with a global fleet of more than 110 aircraft. Following Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) certification this year, Textron Aviation recently delivered the first two Latitudes into China to Emper General Aviation (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. for use in charter operations. The Latitude, with a four-passenger range of 2,700 nautical miles (5,000 km) at high-speed cruise, is set apart from the competition by its combination of comfort and efficiency. The aircraft’s class-leading take-off field length of 3,580-feet provides operators with greater range out of short fields. Inside, the Latitude offers an unrivaled cabin experience featuring the most open, spacious, bright and refined cabin environment in its category. With a flat floor and six feet of cabin height, innovation abounds with exceptional features designed throughout the aircraft.
