Desert Jet Center to host the CJP annual convention
Desert Jet Center will be welcoming pilots, board members, guests and exhibitors to Palm Springs, marking the first time that the Citation Jet Pilots annual convention has been held in the state of California.
The convention features a line up of guest speakers, seminars, partner and vendor displays, a safety stand down and expanded companion training programmes during its convention.

Desert Jet Center is going to host the 2021 Citation Jet Pilots annual convention in October 2021, marking the first time the annual convention will be held in the state of California.

It will be welcoming Citation jet pilots, board members, guests, exhibitors, vendors and an estimated 120 aircraft flying in during the three day convention.

CJP's annual convention, now in its 12th year, has grown into a multi day event featuring a combination of educational and social opportunities, against the backdrop of historic and luxurious venues, including the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California.

The convention features a line up of guest speakers, seminars, partner and vendor displays, a safety stand down and expanded companion training programmes during its convention.

“We are grateful to the Citation Jet Pilots Association for its decision to bring its annual convention to the Greater Palm Springs area and for selecting Desert Jet Center as the host FBO at KTRM,” says Desert Jet chief executive officer Jared Fox. “It is helping to support our local businesses and communities with its event.”

“Our members who fly to the Palm Springs region continually praise Desert Jet Center's reliable service, luxurious facilities and commitment to a fantastic customer experience,” said CJP chairman Randy Broiles. “As our association once again gathers in person to celebrate CJP's annual convention, I'm incredibly pleased to have such a fantastic host FBO.”
