TAG Aviation has added a Citation X to its fleet. Said a spokesman: “It cruises near the speed of sound yet has outstanding fuel efficiency. With its 3,125nm range and 51,000 foot altitude rating, the aircraft can take eight passengers in luxury from, for example, Geneva to Dubai in less than six hours. A pair of high-bypass Rolls-Royce engines also provides the aircraft with excellent short-range, short-field performance.”

In further news, the company’s Falcon 2000 has rejoined TAG’s 150-strong fleet. The spokesman added: “From the light-toned carpeting and newly-upholstered seats and furnishings to its panelling in elm burl veneer, the aircraft is an immaculate example of one of today’s most sought-after business jets.

“In fact, having also successfully passed all its technical checks, this is effectively a brand new aircraft.”
