CJ2+ and Grand Caravans appeal
Private Flight GmbH is taking delivery of a Citation CJ2+, the 101st unit of the upgraded version.

Private Flight GmbH is taking delivery of a Citation CJ2+, the 101st unit of the upgraded version. The aircraft will be based in Bayreuth, Germany, and Private Flight says it will be used by a vip for private travel. The Citation CJ2+ seats up to eight passengers, has a range of 1,613 n.m. and a maximum cruise speed of 418 knots.

Separately six 208B Grand Caravans, a 172 Skyhawk and 182 Skylane have been ordered by Air Alliance GmbH, one of Europe's most active Cessna Caravan dealers. Pana Poulios, Cessna regional sales manager in Europe says: "We have increased Caravan production for 2008 based largely on international orders such as this. Our single-engine piston sales are also doing very well in 2008." Based in Burbach's Flughafen Siegerland in Germany, Air Alliance is also an authorised service centre for Cessna turboprop aircraft.
