Air Touring Will Promote Ae270 Propjet In The UK, Ireland

Ibis Aerospace announced on Thursday the appointment of Air Touring Limited as UK distributor for its Ae270 Propjet. Air Touring is based at Biggin Hill Airport, near London. The company will be responsible for sales and service to Ae270 operators in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company -- which was founded in 1998 --  will be responsible for sales, customer service, training, operations and maintenance on the Ae270 Propjet. In addition to the Ibis appointment, Air Touring is an exclusive distributor for the French manufacturer EADS Socata.

Michael Pearce, CEO of Air Touring, commented, “We are very excited to be representing Ibis Aerospace. The addition of the Ae270 to the already well established TBM 700 will make Air Touring the number one turboprop distributor in the region.”

Karel Sovak, European Area Sales Director for Ibis, stated, “I am personally pleased with the appointment. Air Touring is a highly professional organization and an exciting addition to the Ibis sales and support network.”

Ibis claims the Ae270 Propjet is well suited to the European business aviation markets with its large, pressurized cabin aircraft designed to carry up to 10 people (1–2 crew plus 8–9 passengers) and stage lengths capable of covering up to 1,544 nm with fuel reserves.
