More Than 60 Aircraft Delivered To University Programs
Cessna sold new aircraft to nine global training fleets in the
first half of 2010, marked by the recent delivery of the 12th 172
Skyhawk to a Russian training program. Cessna says the delivery
keeps it as a leader in flight training solutions.

Since January, Cessna has delivered more than 60 aircraft to
major aviation university programs in the United States and for
training programs in countries such as Egypt, Korea, Turkey and
Uganda, in addition to several programs in Russia. "What
we're seeing in Russia is beginning to mirror the level of activity
in the training market we've seen around the world, whether for
university programs, for-profit flight schools, government training
programs or commercial airline training programs," said Robert
Gibbs, director of International Sales, Propeller Aircraft.

Gibbs said popular models remain the 172 Skyhawk and 162
Skycatcher, but some programs look for aircraft with the advanced
performance found in 182 Skylanes and 206 Stationairs, 208 Caravans
and Citations. "The reasons Cessna aircraft are so popular
with training programs is the range of products we offer - whatever
is required, we have aircraft to meet their needs - the reliability
of our products and Cessna's reputation for customer service,"
Gibbs said. "They know our support network is one of the largest in
the industry. If they need support, it is likely going to be very
close by."
