New Breed of Inexpensive Jets Lift Private Aviation
THINK of it as the Model T of business jets. The Cessna Mustang is cheap (a mere £1.5m), standardised (you can choose one of three interior colours and stripes on the side if you want) and will be made in unprecedented numbers (150 a year).
The Mustang, a dinky machine that looks like a shrunken version of the planes that flew tycoons home from Davos last week, is the first of a new breed of small, affordable aircraft that will transform corporate aviation.
