Textron Aviation achieved a timely milestone at the European Business Aviation Convention and Expo in Geneva, Switzerland, earning EASA certification for Cessna Aircraft Company’s Citation CJ3+. The light business jet has seen great success since it first got the FAA sign off in September, with Cessna delivering 10 of the airplanes already by the close of 2014.

The CJ3+ seats up to nine passengers and its 2,040 nm range is well suited for the European market, with the capability of non-stop flights from London to Moscow or Madrid to St. Petersburg, Russia. And with a max cruise speed of 416 knots the passengers will get to their destinations rather quickly.
