Three Aircraft Will Be Delivered To Government Bureau
Cessna will deliver three Citation CJ4 business jets to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) through their special mission affiliate Kanematsu Corporation of Japan. This deal represents the first ever CJ4 deliveries to Japan.
Bill Harris, Cessna vice president of Sales for Asia and Asia Pacific, says: “The CJ4 is a popular choice with operators worldwide, earning a well-deserved reputation as a very capable and high- performing aircraft – a versatile business tool able to tackle many different missions. Cessna’s Citation jets in general and the CJ4 in particular, continue to be a popular choice for customers who expect a high degree of flexibility and reliability in their business aircraft.”
The purchased CJ4 aircraft will be used by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB). The jets will be equipped with flight inspection systems and as part of their mission will confirm the accuracy of air navigation capabilities, air routes, and air traffic control facilities.
According to Cessna, the Citation CJ4 deliveries into Japan are indicative of the growing popularity of the Cessna Citation aircraft in the country. In the past decade, Citation jets have out-delivered the next two brands of business jets in Japan by a combined two to one margin. “Japan plays an important role in the financial operations of the Asian economy," Harris said. "Business aviation has transformed the way business is done around the world, and Japan is no exception. Businesses in Japan are taking notice of the efficiencies and flexibility offered by business aviation. A Citation’s short runway performance gives its passengers more options for swift, convenient access to thousands of destinations. As time goes on, we are confident more corporations will see Citation jets as consistent, valuable business tools providing more time and opportunity to conduct business.”
