Chairman Goes All In with Textron, Orders CJ3+

Chairman Aviation, a Dallas-based fractional and private aviation membership company, has ordered a new Cessna Citation CJ3+ for delivery later this year—its second Citation jet purchase from Textron Aviation in 2019. The order, announced last week at NBAA-BACE 2019, marks the third Textron Aviation aircraft addition to its fleet. The company operates a Beechcraft King Air B200 and last month took delivery of a Cessna Citation X.

“Our purchases of the Citation CJ3+ and Citation X are important components of our vision to deliver an enjoyable and efficient private flying experience that exceeds our customers’ expectations for value, comfort, and performance,” said Chairman Aviation president Howard C. O’Shell III. “With our transition to an all-Textron Aviation fleet, Chairman can provide customers with the right aircraft for their unique mission, operated by a team of experienced and dedicated aviation professionals equipped with decades of commercial airline and military training. We are excited to continue our strong relationship with Textron Aviation.”
