Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, has delivered a second Cessna Citation CJ3+ aircraft to fractional operator AirSprint Inc.
“We are excited to announce the addition of our eighth CJ class aircraft, and second CJ3+, C-GASW,” said James Elian, president and COO of AirSprint. “The combination of range, performance and efficiency has made the Citation CJ3+ very popular with our fractional owners, and we look forward to adding another one later this year.”
Sixteen years ago, AirSprint became Canada’s first fractional jet program with the introduction of the Cessna Citation Excel. Since then, AirSprint has flown Citation aircraft more than 77,000 hours–with a fractional fleet that has included the Excel, XLS, CJ2+ and CJ3+.
“Textron Aviation is proud to expand its relationship with AirSprint with this milestone delivery of yet another Citation CJ3+ to their fleet,” said Rob Scholl, senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “The CJ3+ meets the needs of discerning owners who value its perfect balance of unparalleled reliability, productivity and comfort.”
Today, AirSprint operates the largest–and youngest–fractional fleet of private aircraft in Canada, offering the Cessna Citation CJ2+, Citation CJ3+ and Embraer Legacy 450. With a fleet of 14 aircraft, AirSprint serves owners from coast-to-coast ranging across Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and the Maritimes.
