Update – Cessna Citation V

In recent years business aviation has become increasingly important. It is now seen as a means for employees to reach essential locations directly, without having to rely on possibly inconvenient airline routes, something that the events of recent months has graphically highlighted.

In Australia, it has become well established, in part due to the geography. However, it may be some time before Australia sees its first locally registered business jet converted from the likes of the Boeing 707 or the McDonnell Douglas DC-9. Instead, there are about 90 small corporate jets based in both Australia and across the Tasman in New Zealand. (Refer, Bizjet Census, p98 Nov 89 AA)

Advantages for corporations owning or leasing such aircraft include the flexibility offered, instant on-call access, the long range and, of course, the prestige. It is important to note that the flexibility that the advanced jets offer far out-weighs the costs of operating the jet. Even if it costs several thousand dollars for the one flight, it becomes insignificant if in the face of a multi-million dollar deal.
