Lucky Customer Gets Free Poster with Purchase

Textron Aviation has tendered the 400th Cessna Citation Latitude business jet to Simmons Foods, an Arkansas company.

Simmons Foods has been a Citation operator for a while now, using their Cessnas to manage operations across their entire footprint. To celebrate lucky number 400, Cessna handed off the aircraft with a fun little bit of wall dressing, a banner featuring the new plane to decorate the Simmons Foods hangar.

“The delivery of the 400th Citation Latitude is a testament to the aircraft's superior design and a proud moment for our team,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations for Textron Aviation. “This milestone not only reinforces the Latitude's status as the leader in the midsize jet segment, but also underscores our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, setting new standards for comfort, efficiency and performance in the aviation industry.”

Cessna released the Citation Latitude in 2015, setting the bizjet up to become the "most-delivered midsize business jet for eight consecutive years." The manufacturer says the Latitude is a favorite with customers today, thanks to its 2,700-nautical mile range and nicely furnished cabin.

“Over the years, we’ve found that Citation jets mean business in every way. Our fleet of Citations has significantly enhanced our company’s operational capabilities, allowing us to serve our customers, employees and farmers more effectively,” said Todd Simmons, CEO, Simmons Foods. “Guided by our family values of integrity, respect, hard work and innovation, the Latitude's performance and reliability are a natural fit for our business.”
