Present on the occasion were Michael McGreevy, Director of Sales, Citation Marketing Division; Sameer Rehman, Singapore-based Director, International Finance, Asia Pacific, Cessna Finance Corporation; and Air Commodore B. Banerjee, Indian representative of US-based Textron, owners of Cessna. Proprietor of Hosur airfield Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Ltd is the authorised sales representative and service facility of Cessna Aircraft Company (CAC) in India.

A low cost light business jet, the Cessna Citation CJ2+ was built upon one of the most popular and successful Cessna models in this category—the Citation CJ2. Cessna delivered the first Citation CJ2 in November 2000 and its successor the CJ2+ in April 2006.
