Hawker Beechcraft Receives Order For Premier II From RayaJet
and Ayla Aviation Academy
Hawker Beechcraft is logging in an order from Jordan-based
RayaJet and Ayla Aviation Academy for a Premier II.
"We are delighted to provide RayaJet and Ayla Aviation this
superior aircraft," said Brad Hatt, president, Hawker Beechcraft
Commercial Aircraft. "With its impressively spacious cabin and
advanced technology, the Premier II will be a perfect fit for
RayaJet's private jet travel services. Its unmatched performance
and efficiency also make it a plane that pilots and companies
training with Ayla Aviation will be anxious to operate."
Evolving from the Premier IA, the Premier II features higher cruise
speeds, a 20 percent longer range with four passengers and an
increased payload. The Premier II will feature a high-strength,
state-of-the-art all-composite fuselage that allows for a
medium-jet sized cabin at costs previously associated with smaller
airframes. The Premier II features standard seating for up to six
passengers and their baggage.
"The addition of a Premier II to RayaJet will allow us to fulfill
our vision of expanding and modernizing our fleet and will enable
us to combine both business and luxury travel, a unique combination
in today's world economy that would attract clientele in terms of
price and range, in addition to RayaJet's renowned service," said
Nader Dajani, RayaJet Chairman. "By jointly placing an order for a
Premier II, both Ayla Aviation and RayaJet have taken one step
further toward a full merger in 2009 after signing the strategic
alliance in 2008."
