Textron Aviation has finalized a purchase agreement with Mexican business aviation provider Aerolíneas Ejecutivas (ALE) for up to 12 Cessna Citations. The aircraft—a mix of Citation Latitudes, CJ3 Gen2s, and CJ3 Gen3s—will be operated through ALE’s fractional ownership program, Mexjet. ALE is expected to take delivery of four aircraft in 2026: two Latitudes and two CJ3 Gen2s.
“Cessna Citation business jets are ideal for fractional customers seeking class-leading comfort and performance,” said Textron Aviation v-p of sales for Latin America Marcelo Moreira.
ALE is a long-time Citation operator and currently flies the Latitude and CJ3+ models. The company’s jet card program was the first prepaid fractional product introduced in Mexico.
“At ALE, we will continue to prioritize the safety of all our clients,” said company president Arturo Ortega. “Our commitment is reflected in our actions—we continue to grow, invest, and offer unparalleled service.”
The CJ3 Gen2 and Gen3 bring enhanced flight deck and cabin features, including Garmin G3000 avionics with autothrottle, emergency autoland (Gen3), customizable seating, and externally serviceable lavatories. The midsize Latitude offers 2,700 nm range and a flat-floor cabin.
