Cessna Secured 36 Model 850 Orders By End Of Q1
Cessna received an order last week for two Model 850 Citation
Columbus business jets from TWC Aviation, Inc., of Burbank, CA.
"The Citation Columbus was an easy choice given my longstanding
commitment to efficient energy use. The Columbus provides fuel
efficiency unheard of in an aircraft of its cabin size, range and
performance," said entrepreneur Andrew Lessman, founder of TWC
Aviation, a privately owned, fully independent company that
provides jet charter, aircraft management, acquisition and sales,
maintenance and consulting services.
"As air transport continues to expand to meet the needs of our
global economy, responsible operators must consider the
environmental impact of their operations," Lessman said. "The
Citation Columbus provides intercontinental service at fuel
efficiencies typical of far smaller, shorter range aircraft. That,
combined with the exceptional reliability we have always enjoyed
with Cessna aircraft, makes the Columbus our choice for the
future."
Cessna secured 36 orders by the end of the first quarter, after
announcing the large cabin, intercontinental Citation in early
February.
"We are delighted that TWC Aviation has chosen the new Citation
Columbus, said Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack Pelton. "TWC
Aviation shares our passion for excellence and outstanding customer
service. TWC Aviation's world-class capabilities, combined with the
Columbus' combination of speed, range and comfort, will offer the
perfect choice for jet charter clients."
