Textron Aviation secures three-jet order from SD Aviation

Textron Aviation has entered into an agreement with SD Aviation for two Cessna Citation M2 Gen3 business jets and one Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2, with options for three additional light jets. The aircraft will support SD Aviation’s new SD Share programme, a shared ownership offering for private flights based in Paris and Cannes. SD Share is a partnership between SD Aviation and Groupe Dubreuil, with initial deliveries expected from 2027.

“The Cessna Citation light jets will help SD Aviation serve customers with reliable travel across Europe and beyond,” said Duncan Van De Velde, Vice President, Sales, Europe. “The M2 Gen3 and CJ3 Gen2 are ideal platforms for private flights, offering the performance and versatility to access a wide range of airports, the efficiency operators depend on and the comfort passengers expect.”

Designed to offer a strong balance of performance, efficiency and comfort, Cessna Citation business jets are well suited to private aviation, with the ability to access shorter runways and a wide range of airports across Europe while delivering the speed, range and reliability expected by customers. Featuring refined interior options, ambient lighting and wireless charging, the aircraft will provide SD Aviation clients with a seamless and comfortable travel experience for both business and leisure journeys across the region.
