Textron Aviation announced delivery and entry-into-service of its Cessna Citation M2 Gen2 light jet equipped with Garmin autothrottles.
The Citation M2 Gen2 received FAA certification in October 2025. First delivery and ferry flight took place on Nov. 24 to a customer in Wausau, Wisconsin, according to Aviation Week Network data.
Three additional Citation M2 Gen2 jets were delivered in mid-December, data show.
“The M2 Gen2 leads its segment as the most delivered light-entry jet, setting the standard for performance and innovation,” says Lannie O’Bannion, Textron Aviation senior vice president of sales and marketing. “With Garmin Autothrottles now available, pilots gain a more intuitive and efficient flying experience, elevating every journey.”
The addition of Garmin autothrottles provides protections against over- and under-speed conditions and aids the pilot throughout the flight, the company notes. The technology allows pilots to focus on operation-critical activities in the cockpit, allowing for smoother transitions and great control throughout the flight.
The M2 Gen2 includes premium interior styling, ambient accent lighting, illuminated cupholders and an optional folding side-facing seat that converts into additional storage for cargo. It also includes wireless charging capabilities and USB-A ports at each cabin seat and USB-C ports within the two universal 115V combo outlets.
Three inches of legroom were also added to the co-pilot position.
The M2 Gen2, powered by two Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines, has a maximum cruise speed of 404 kts and a range of 1,550 nm. It includes Garmin G3000 avionics and seats a maximum of eight occupants.
