ENG Aviation, based at Houston Hobby, has introduced its first Citation Jet 3 to its fleet, as announced on its social media platforms. The aircraft, N196JH (msn 525B-0395), is configured to seat up to seven passengers and is now stationed at Dallas Love Field. This addition marks a strategic expansion of their regional fleet, which includes other Citation series models such as the Citation Excel and Citation Jet 4.
Previously operated privately across the United States, the Citation Jet 3 joined ENG Aviation's operations in October. The aircraft historically flew routes between Shreveport Regional and Chicago Midway and was formerly based at Dallas Addison. This move aligns with the company's plans to enhance its mobility options for corporate clients in the Texas region.
Fleet and Market Growth
ENG Aviation's fleet, certified under Part 135, features several aircraft including a Citation Jet 4 and an additional Citation Excel. The company continues to update and optimize its assets amid the rising demand for business aviation services, especially in the post-pandemic recovery period. These upgrades allow ENG to better serve regional markets and offer tailored solutions to its clientele, aligning with industry growth trends.
With this latest acquisition, ENG Aviation reinforces its position within the North American business jet sector and demonstrates sustained investment in modern, efficient aircraft to meet evolving customer needs.
