“Operator feedback and owner insight have indicated a market for a Citation with the size, speed and range of the Citation M2,” said Scott Ernest, Cessna president and CEO. “We expect to see customers new to the Citation family, Mustang owners looking for a logical next step or CJ1+ operators who want a new, more advanced Citation.”

The M2’s cabin will be 1.47m wide, 3.3m long and a height of 1.45m with a dropped aisle.

First flight is planned for the first half of 2012, US FAA certification is slated for the first half of 2013, with deliveries following in the second half of 2013.
