Claims Nearly 200 Prop Aircraft, 26 Citations Flying In The
Country
Cessna's exhibit in China for the Shanghai International Air
Show touts the planemaker as one of the leading general aviation
companies in the country in terms of deliveries.
"The China market is very special to Cessna and we continue to
focus our efforts here in terms of sales, manufacturing and
customer support," said Trevor Esling, Cessna vice president,
International Sales. "We have important relationships throughout
the country and continue to expand our presence here to ensure we
have the resources to support our growing fleet."
Cessna customers in China operate nearly 200 propeller aircraft
and 26 Citation business jets in a variety of roles including
training, business travel and special missions. Customers include
the China Flight Inspection Center of the Civil Aviation
Administration of China and the Civil Aviation Flying University of
China.
Included in the Cessna China fleet are nine Caravan turboprops
(two more deliveries expected this month) flying a variety of
missions including passenger service, cargo and aerial photography.
Recent deliveries include three Citation Sovereigns to CFIC in
December. In 2009, a Citation XLS operated by the CFIC landed and
took off from Qamdo Bangda Airport (BPX/ZUBD) in Tibet,
demonstrating the aircraft's capability to operate at the world's
highest airport at 14,219 feet.
Cessna is also working with Chinese industry on aircraft
production. Shenyang Aircraft Corporation produces Cessna's Model
162 Skycatcher light sport aircraft. SAC has delivered more than
100 aircraft and Cessna holds orders for close to 900 more
aircraft. Cessna has been active in Hong Kong in terms of
operations and product support and has plans for further growth in
mainland China in the near future.
