Plans To End Production Of The Citation X Plus

Cessna has announced the end of production of the Citation X Plus business jet, which for two decades was the company's biggest and fastest model.

The Wichita Eagle reports that it was notified by the company about its plans in a written statement. "The Citation X platform has a storied heritage within the Citation brand and has become a beloved aircraft by operators and passengers alike as the fastest civilian aircraft in the world," the statement said. "With the upcoming entry into service of the Citation Longitude, we are taking the opportunity to minimize overlap within this customer segment and discontinuing production of the Citation X+."

The company said that ending production of the Citation X+ will eliminate some crossover with the new Citation Longitude, which the FAA has yet to certify.

A Textron spokesman told the paper in an email that employees from the Citation X line will be shifted to other lines and program, and employment levels will be be affected.
