Cessna Aircraft last month during Asian Aerospace 2009 in Hong Kong received an order for three Citation Sovereigns from the China Flight Inspection Center (CFIC) of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). The three new Sovereigns will complement CFIC’s existing fleet of eight Citation XLS/XLS+s.
Cessna expects to receive CAAC type validation of the Sovereign by year-end. Deliveries to CFIC are expected to start late next year.
