World’s Fastest Civilian Aircraft Revealed- The New Citation X

Cessna announced this week that the first updated production Citation X has emerged from the factory hangar in Wichita, Kansas. In 2010, Cessna announced plans for an update to the Citation X that would be called the Citation Ten, later deciding upon the “new Citation X” as the name for the updated model. They plan to reclaim their crown as the world’s fastest civilian aircraft with the “New Citation X”. “Speed is the reason for flight. It was true for Clyde Cessna in 1927, and it’s true today,” said Scott Ernest, Cessna CEO. “The Citation X is the perfect aircraft for customers wanting to move faster, be more efficient and get where they need to be more quickly than ever before.”

Observe The Benefits of Flying On board a Private Jet

Chartering an aircraft for your transportation and business needs definitely adds value to your time. There are serveral benefits accompanied with choosing a private jet rather than opting for commercial airline services. A few of those benefits include a flight itinerary suited to your schedule rather than an airlines needs, and the ability to fly into an airport closer to your destination. With a commercial airline you’re very limited on airport choices. You can also expect luxurious travel conditions on board a private aircraft. You won’t be sharing your cabin space with a crying baby or obnoxious passenger assigned next to you, which makes traveling much more enjoyable. On board, you’ll have privacy and amenities to relax or finish up a business meeting.

Magellan Jets Announces Partnership with Polo Club Saint-Tropez

Magellan Jets is proud to announce their partnership with Polo Club Saint Tropez. Polo Club Saint-Tropez is located in Gassin, one of the most beautiful villages in France. Gassin is located between Saint-Tropez and Pampelonne beaches. Annually, between the months of April and September, 14 international tournaments of different handicap level take place, as well as practice and exhibition matches. For each tournament, the Polo Club Saint-Tropez organizes beautiful events and dinner parties. For the 2011 season, the English team SEZZ has kept their title for the 2nd consecutive year by winning the Gold Cup against the newcomers of the Thai Polo Club. It was a very close match, with a final score of 5 to 5. This year, the polo season has ended with the traditional Gold Cup dinner to celebrate the accomplishments of all participants. The players have been offered a variety of prizes, designer clothing and watches, champagne bottles by Taittinger, a membership card by Nota Bene, some Introspective Glass trophies, a technical hat by Raceline and of course the Silver and Gold Cups. The best playing Team Patron of the Silver and Gold Cups, Roderick Vere Nicoll, received a voucher for a stay at La Messardiere hotel. In addition to the polo matches, the Polo Club Saint-Tropez hosts private and corporate events, such as gala dinners, weddings, product launches and seminars. Due to this, it is fair to say that it is one of the top attractions in the South of France. Magellan Jets looks forward to collaborating with the Polo Club Saint-Tropez on future events, both in the United States and abroad.
