Textron Aviation is showcasing its complete line of business jets and turboprops this week at NBAA 2014, with all 12 models on display at Orlando
(Fla.) Executive Airport, led by the debut
appearance of its midsize Cessna Latitude, which is expected to be certified in
the first half of next year. “It’s a product family that really has come
together well,” said president and CEO Scott Ernest, alluding to the merger of
the Hawker, Beechcraft and Cessna product lines after Textron, parent company of
Cessna Aircraft, purchased Hawker Beechcraft earlier this year and created
Textron Aviation. “Our focus for the last six months has been on integration.”
He said results of the first three quarters show the company is “off to a really
good start this year.” Textron Aviation delivered 33 jets and 30 King Airs in
the third quarter, up from 25 jets and 26 King Airs in the same period a year
ago. Textron Aviation’s revenues climbed $497 million year-over-year in the
quarter, and the segment had a profit of $62 million compared to last year’s
loss of $23 million. Backlog at the end of the third quarter was flat compared
to the second quarter at $1.4 billion.
