Cessna hosts annual Citation Customer Conference

By Janice Wood · May 5, 2011 ·

Cessna Citation owners from around the world have gathered this week at Cessna’s headquarters in Wichita for the annual customer conference, which features company updates, technical briefings, supplier presentations and keynote speeches from Robert Wilson, son of Holiday Inn hotel chain founder Kemmons Wilson, and retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Steve Ritchie, the country’s last fighter ace.

“We are very excited about the level of interest from our Citation owners in this year’s conference, which seems to mirror what many experts are saying about the resumption of growth in business jet operations,” said Brad Thress, senior vice president, Cessna Customer Service.

The two-day conference provides opportunities to exchange ideas with other Citation pilots, maintenance directors and operators. Many of the sessions have question and answer formats so Cessna and Cessna customers get an opportunity to learn in a collegial environment. In addition to updates on the latest technical and operational aspects of Citation ownership, attendees get up-to-date information on Cessna’s overall activities and strategies for the future.
