Textron Aviation has displayed its Cessna Citation Latitude for the first time at this year's EBACE. The aircraft features the most expansive interior of any Citation jet, with a flat cabin floor, 1.83 metres of cabin height, Garmin G5000 avionics and a Clairity cabin technology system. Its performance specifications have exceeded the manufacturer's original projections.

Textron is strengthening its service network for European operators by centralising parts distribution, increasing inventory and improving response to customer feedback.

“We have more than 200,000 operators depending on us to keep them flying. We are focused on elevating our support for all customers in the region,” says senior vp Brad Thress.
