Textron Aviation has secured a purchase agreement with European private jet operator LUMINAIR for nine Cessna Citation Latitude midsize business jets. The order, announced at AERO Friedrichshafen in Germany, will support LUMINAIR’s charter operations across Europe, with deliveries starting this year.
This fleet addition highlights the Citation Latitude’s status as a best-selling model, equipped with a stand-up, flat-floor cabin accommodating up to nine passengers. The jets offer exceptional range and performance tailored for midsize charter missions.
LUMINAIR, based in Europe, selected the aircraft to bolster its regional operations amid steady demand for efficient private aviation. Textron Aviation, part of Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT), reinforces its market leadership in business jets through this deal.
The Citation Latitude’s reliability and passenger comfort make it ideal for high-frequency charter services, enabling LUMINAIR to expand capacity without compromising operational efficiency. This transaction underscores growing European appetite for proven midsize platforms in the post-pandemic recovery.
