Prince Aviation hosted the annual summit of the Citation Mustang Interest Group (CMIG) at its facility at Belgrade airport from 4 to 6 June 2026. The event brought together Citation Mustang owners and operators from across Europe with leading companies from the general aviation industry, including Textron Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada, CAMP Systems, Garmin and ForeFlight, as well as providers of interior refurbishment, connectivity and other support services.

CMIG is a German club founded in 2018 with the goal of uniting Citation Mustang (Cessna 510) owners in Europe and giving them a stronger collective voice towards manufacturers and suppliers, particularly on spare parts supply and maintenance issues.  This year's edition in Belgrade combined the conference programme with a tour of Prince Aviation's maintenance facility and a programme of sightseeing and cultural activities in the Serbian capital.

Srđan Kragojević, CEO of Prince Aviation commented: "Being an aircraft owner can be quite a challenging process. Our company is a one-stop shop that offers business jet owners all the services they need, from CAMO services in both Serbia and Slovenia to full line and base maintenance on the entire Cessna 500 series, together with hot section inspections of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600 series engines installed on the Citation Mustang. By hosting CMIG, we are connecting OEMs and end users, bringing some of the best-known names in our industry to Belgrade."

Alexander Pichler of CMIG stated: "It's our first time in Belgrade and we are absolutely amazed by the facility - a brand new, very clean and professional setup with a huge hangar. All the members here have reported outstanding feedback. The facility tour was very impressive, especially seeing the latest technology Prince Aviation is working with. Our members are not only Citation Mustang owners, some are still flying piston or turboprop aircraft on their way into the jet segment, while others have transitioned to the CJ3+, Phenom or HondaJet but remain part of the community. Today we count more than 50 members, including over 20 aircraft owners."

Đorđe Petrović, COO of Prince Aviation said: "Events like this one are a great opportunity to have aircraft owners and all supporting companies, MROs, software providers, component shops, in one place, sharing ideas, discussing the issues they are facing and finding solutions, especially in challenging times for the supply chain. Prince Aviation holds more than 11 OEM authorizations, which gives aircraft owners the confidence that their aircraft will be served at OEM level, with all their needs, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, interior refurbishment, exterior repainting and avionics modifications - covered in one place."

Textron Aviation, manufacturer of the Citation Mustang, also took part in the summit. Brian Adams, Vice President Innovation and Business Operations, Textron Aviation said: "We are proud to support the Citation Mustang owner community through ongoing engagement across our teams, from field service and engineering to parts, programs, aftermarket and sales. That close, day-to-day connection helps us better understand how customers operate and ensures their feedback continues to inform product improvements and support solutions. We value opportunities to come together with CMIG and Prince Aviation to share insights and help enhance the ownership experience for Mustang operators worldwide."
