Textron Aviation will display the Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2 for the first time at NBAA-BACE 2026, placing the recently certified light twinjet at Las Vegas Henderson Executive Airport from 20 to 22 October. The aircraft has a published maximum range of up to 2,040 nautical miles and will form part of the company’s business-jet display alongside the Citation Ascend, Latitude and Longitude.
The static aircraft display will be located at Henderson Executive Airport, while indoor exhibits will be held in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The arrangement will allow operators and prospective customers to inspect the CJ3 Gen2 during the convention’s first exposure to the model.
The aircraft received certification in October 2025. Textron Aviation’s display will cover its light, midsize and super-midsize Citation range, with the Ascend representing the light-to-midsize segment, the Latitude the midsize class and the Longitude the super-midsize category.
At its convention booth, the manufacturer will also present aftermarket services and customer-support capabilities, including connectivity offerings and interior upgrades. The programme is focused on showcasing the aircraft and support portfolio rather than introducing a new order, delivery, technical change or additional performance data.
