Latest Latitude makes it a round hundred for NetJets
Having placed an initial order for 25 Latitudes back in 2016, NetJets has now taken delivery of its 100th model. And as fractional demand continues to grow, so plans are afoot to continue fleet expansion still further.

NetJets has taken delivery of its 100th Cessna Citation Latitude aircraft from Textron Aviation in Wichita, Kansas. CEO Adam Johnson received the keys to NetJets' first Latitude aircraft in June 2016, from its initial order of 25 aircraft. Since then the company has witnessed tremendous demand for the aircraft. The company plans to continue expansion of the fleet to meet the high demand of its fractional owners.

“We're looking forward to continuing our relationship with Textron Aviation with this milestone delivery,” says NetJets chairman and CEO Adam Johnson. “We are committed to providing our owners with exceptional service and a seamless travel experience and look forward to continuing to expand our industry-leading fleet.”

Owner demand has ranked the Latitude as the best-selling aircraft in the NetJets portfolio, further establishing the aircraft as Textron Aviation's best-selling midsize jet, which it claims outsells its nearest competitor by 4:1. This latest delivery will increase NetJets' current fleet of over 250 Cessna aircraft, which includes the Citation Excel/XLS, Citation Sovereign and Citation X, and which began with the industry-defining Citation SII.

NetJets has outfitted the aircraft with a multitude of custom enhancements including an expanded refreshment center with a hot beverage maker and the NetJets 360 Connectivity package that includes wi-fi, Text & Talk, and the NetJets in-flight entertainment system.

NetJets Inc is a Berkshire Hathaway company. More than 50 years ago, it launched the world's first private jet charter and management company and went on to pioneer shared aircraft ownership. As the owner and operator of a large and diverse private jet fleet, NetJets hires only the most experienced and accomplished pilots and safety is a priority. The company's full range of aviation options include NetJets, Executive Jet Management and Marquis Jet Card service brands in North America and Europe.
