en.Wedoany.com Reported - Textron Aviation's 500th Cessna Citation CJ4 series aircraft, the Citation CJ4 Gen2, has rolled off the production line. This milestone underscores the series' enduring influence in the single-pilot jet business aircraft segment and reaffirms the company's commitment to the light jet market.

This rollout reflects how the CJ4 series has met customer demand for versatile and reliable aircraft over the past decade, laying the production foundation for the next-generation model—the Citation CJ4 Gen3, which is expected to receive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification later this year. Brad White, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing at Textron Aviation, stated that this achievement is inseparable from the work of employees behind every delivered aircraft. He highlighted the craftsmanship, care, and consistency demonstrated by employees on the production line, as well as their commitment to the future of aviation, which made milestones like the 500th CJ4 possible and continues to earn customer trust. The rollout ceremony was held at the CJ4 production line to recognize the team's talent, precision, and pride in their work.

Lannie O’Bannion, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, noted that customers have chosen the CJ4 for over a decade based on its performance, ease of operation, and cockpit reliability. He stated that reaching 500 units built validates the platform's strength and prepares the company to deliver the CJ4 Gen3 to customers. Since its launch in 2010, the Citation CJ4 series has built a reputation among owners, operators, and fleet customers worldwide, supporting a variety of corporate missions and special operations. Building on this foundation, the CJ4 Gen3 will feature a range of new technologies, including the Garmin G3000 PRIME avionics suite and the Garmin Emergency Autoland system, aimed at enhancing pilot experience and operational safety. Additionally, the model will offer owners and operators a more refined experience through one of the most comprehensive standard equipment configurations in its class, setting a new standard in the light jet segment.
