Dallas-based operator Chairman Aviation has placed an order for a brand new Citation CJ3+ aircraft, scheduled to be delivered later this year. The transaction marks the second jet the company has purchased from Textron Aviation this year; this new aircraft follows the September 2019 delivery of a Cessna Citation X, and both aircraft join the company's Beechcraft King Air B200 turboprop and further its transition to an all-Textron Aviation fleet.

“Our purchases of the Citation CJ3+ and Citation X are important components of our vision to deliver an enjoyable and efficient private flying experience that exceeds our customers' expectations for value, comfort and performance,” says Chairman president Howard C O'Shell III. “With our transition to an all-Textron fleet, Chairman can provide customers with the right aircraft for their unique mission, operated by a team of experienced and dedicated aviation professionals equipped with decades of commercial airline and military training. We are excited to continue our strong relationship with Textron Aviation.”
