Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, has received Russian type certification for the Citation Mustang from Russia's MAK (Interstate Aviation Committee, Aviation Register).
The Citation Mustang is now certified in 60 countries including the United States. Cessna has delivered more than 200 Mustangs from the company's Independence, Kan., facility since April 2007.
"The Citation Mustang expands the sensible solutions any potential Russian purchaser will find with our line of Citation business jets, and the aircraft is proving to be as reliable and robust as other Citations," said Cessna Vice President, International Sales, Trevor Esling. "The Mustang's entry into service has been extraordinary around the globe and interest from the market continues to grow, including a fleet order announced in 2008 from a Russian operator."
