Antwerp-based shared ownership operator Flying Group has ordered two Cessna Citation Mustang business jets for delivery in 2007. The €5 million ($5 million) investment is aimed at the low end of the business jet market as the aircraft will carry four passengers and two crew. Cessna has chalked up over 200 orders for the Mustang in less than a month. The personal jet is scheduled for certification and service entry in 2006.
