Cessna Aircraft Company has gained corporate approval to build a new European Citation Service Center in Spain. The Spanish facility will complement the Citation Service Center operating at Le Bourget Airport outside Paris since 1997.  "We have almost 900 Citations in Europe and the number grows every month, so we need the additional capacity to continue to provide the high quality service our customers are used to getting,” said Mark Paolucci, senior vice president, Customer Service for Cessna at the 2008 NBAA conference. "We conducted an extensive location search before deciding on Spain, and we are very pleased with the cooperation from Spanish authorities." Paolucci said Cessna and Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea (AENA) in Madrid have signed a letter of intent to develop a site in Spain and are working on specific details toward a final contract. " Cessna hopes to break ground on the new facility in 2009 and begin operations there in late 2010.
