Atlas Air Service has delivered the first Citation M2 in Europe to the company müller co-ax ag from Forchtenberg in Baden-Württemberg. The business jet landed at Bremen Airport after its transfer flight from Independence, Kansas (USA).

Cessna’s M2 is the completely modernised successor to the CJ1+. The winglets providing lower aerodynamic resistance together with the laminar wings constitute the most significant change of the new M2’s look. The completely redesigned cockpit is equipped with the modern Citation “Intrinzic” flight deck on the basis of the Garmin G3000 with touch-screen technology. New comfort seats, LED lighting and the optional Cessna Clarity cabin management system offer highest passenger comfort. The M2 has eight to nine seats and a speed of up to 400 knots (741 km/h). Moreover, it boasts with a range of up to 1,300 nautical miles (2,400 km). This enables direct flights from Frankfurt to Moscow or Hamburg to Lisbon.

“In view of such flight performances and a better price in comparison to its predecessor the new jet is an attractive entry-level model into the legendary CL class”, explains Hans Doll, sales director of Atlas Air Service. “We are very pleased that Cessna has accommodated the wishes of our customers and created an ideal upgrade for pilots of turboprops, Cessna Mustang or the CJ1+. We expect an excellent positioning of Cessna’s new product in the light jet market in Germany and worldwide.”
