Orders Valued At More Than $34 Million

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) announced Wednesday during the 2012 NBAA Convention in Orlando, FL, that it has signed orders for nine new Beechcraft products with a total value of more than $34 million.

The orders, which include one King Air 350i, two King Air 250s, two King Air C90GTxs and four Baron G58s, were placed by four Beechcraft distributors throughout South and Central America. The distributors include Aerolineas in Mexico, Aviaservice in Colombia, the Caribbean, and Venezuela, Aviasur in Chile, and Beechcraft de Guatemala in Central America. AirFinance is facilitating financing.

“Our exclusive distributors are valued partners and have greatly contributed to the success we’ve had in the South American market,” said Keith Nadolski, President of Beechcraft Americas. “The Beechcraft King Air turboprop and piston platforms are well suited for the demands of operating in the varied landscapes of South and Central America, easily transitioning from unimproved grass strips to downtown airports.”

Deliveries will begin in second quarter 2013 and will continue through the end of the year.
