flyExclusive has taken delivery of three brand new Cessna CJ3+ aircraft from Textron Aviation, starting the next phase of its fleet modernisation efforts.

“Our decades long relationship with Textron is strong and today is made even stronger. Our customers expect the best, and the Citation CJ3+ offers the most superior light jet experience in private aviation,” says CEO Jim Segrave. “We are guided by the ethos that every minute matters to our customers, and the CJ3+'s range, speed and interior will help us continue to meet that high standard.”

In 2022, flyExclusive started a fleet modernisation programme that included an order of up to 44 new Textron aircraft, including up to 30 CJ3+ light aircraft. The total investment plan included the purchase of up to 14 midsize and super-midsize Cessna Citation business jets, including eight XLS Gen2s and six Longitudes.
