Citation Mustang Demonstration Tour Before Display At India Aviation 2010

As the India Aviation 2010 show gets underway at Begumpet Airport (VOHY) in Hyderabad, India, Cessna says it is encouraged by signs that the general aviation industry is growing in that country.

"Over the past several months, we've seen increased interest in the Citation family of business jets, especially the Citation CJ2+ and Citation XLS+," said Todd Duhnke, Cessna's director of International Sales. "Our strong relationship with Cessna authorized sales representative and service facility Taneja Aerospace & Aviation, located in Bangalore, India, has helped us gain a strong presence in the area as well as demonstrate the importance of general and business aviation to this growing economy," he said.

In partnership with Textron sister company Bell Helicopter, Cessna is displaying a Citation CJ2+, Citation Mustang, Grand Caravan and Skyhawk during the show.

The Citation Mustang just completed its first customer demonstration tour throughout India on its way to make its public debut at India Aviation 2010. "There is a lot of interest in the Mustang around India and it was well received during its first tour in the area," said Todd Duhnke, Cessna's director of International Sales. "India is a growing market for general aviation. We believe there is potential growth in the area for the entire line of Cessna products as this region continues to embrace the advantages of general aviation," he said.

Cessna recently rolled out the 300th Citation Mustang from its facility in Independence, KS. It will be delivered later this year to a retail customer in Australia.
