SDAviation is investing in two Cessna Citation M2 Gen3 business jets and a Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2 business jet with options for three additional light jets. These aircraft will support the French operator's new programme SD Share, a shared ownership programme offering private flights based in Paris and Cannes. SD Share is a partnership between SDAviation and Groupe Dubreuil and initial deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.

“The Cessna Citation light jets will help SD Aviation serve customers with reliable travel across Europe and beyond,” says 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 deliver a balance of performance, efficiency and comfort, Cessna Citation business jets are ideally suited for private flights, providing access to shorter runways and many airports across Europe while ensuring the speed, range and reliability that customers expect. With luxury interior options, ambient lighting and wireless charging capabilities, these jets will provide SDAviation customers with a seamless and enjoyable environment for both business and leisure travel throughout the region.
