Cessna has clinched more than 400 orders to date for the Mustang, which received US and European certification on 8 September 2006 and 21 May 2007 respectively. The company is on track to deliver 44 aircraft this year from its Independence, Kansas plant, where it plans in 2009 to ramp up production of the jet to 150 aircraft a year.
