CESSNA CELEBRATES ROLL OUT OF FIRST PRODUCTION CITATION LATITUDE
Cessna Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, celebrated the roll out of the fi rst production Citation Latitude at the company’s Wichita, KS manufacturing facility on January 29, just three years since being announced to the market. The assembly of the Latitude features a variety of technological advancements including the use of new automated robotics and ergonomically friendly tooling stations. Today’s event is the latest in the aircraft’s progression toward type certifi cation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is expected in the second quarter of this year. “Our product investments extend beyond the design and
performance features of the aircraft with innovations in our manufacturing processes,” says Scott Ernest, president and CEO. “The Citation Latitude team has redefi ned what customers should expect from a business aircraft in this segment, while also redefi ning the aircraft build process.” The Citation Latitude certifi cation program, which includes four fl ying aircraft, has accumulated 500 fl ights and 1,200 hours to date. The fi rst fully-confi gured aircraft made its public debut at last fall’s National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Convention & Exhibition in Orlando, Florida and has since been touring the country for customer demonstration fl ights.
SHANNON AEROSPACE IS NOW LUFTHANSA TECHNIK SHANNON
The Irish facility operated by Lufthansa Technik as part of its European aircraft overhaul network is now called Lufthansa Technik Shannon. What used to be Shannon Aerospace (SAL) - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik AG - has thus joined Hamburg, Berlin, Budapest, Malta and Sofi a as one of the six European base maintenance facilities in name as well as in practice. The
change in name coincides with the 25th Anniversary of the company which provides services to over 50 airlines and employs a workforce of more than 500. The renaming of the company, which is located at Shannon Airport in western Ireland, is not yet visible everywhere and will be implemented step by step over the coming months. It will not entail any changes for customers in their current contracts, addresses or contact partners. Lufthansa Technik Shannon specializes in the overhaul
of short- and medium-range aircraft. The services off ered include basic overhauls (D-checks) and annual checks (C-checks) on the Boeing 737, 757, 767 and the Airbus A320 family of aircraft. Lufthansa Technik Shannon also specializes in the
provision of extensive services to the aircraft leasing business, and here it has the location advantage that over 50 percent of the world’s largest aircraft leasing companies are based in Dublin and Shannon. The number of leasing returns and transition projects is defi nitely on the rise. The fully owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik is
certifi ed by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
