10-Plane Eclipse 500 Deal For New Air Charter Service
On Tuesday, Eclipse
Aviation announced during the Singapore Air Show it has sold 10
Eclipse 500 jets to Club One Air of New Delhi, India. The purchase
marks the Albuquerque, NM-based planemaker's entry into the Indian
business aviation market, and marks another step for the company
into the global aircraft market.
"Eclipse Aviation is experiencing a period of rapid
international expansion, and today’s announcement illustrates
the strong demand for the safety, quality and low operating costs
of the Eclipse 500," said Mike McConnell, Eclipse’s vice
president of sales and marketing. "Establishing a presence for the
Eclipse 500 in India through Club One Air will introduce more
people to the benefits of owning and flying on private jet
aircraft, which continues to be the goal of Eclipse Aviation."
Manav Singh, promoter and managing director of Club One Air,
India’s largest non-scheduled air operator and first
fractional aircraft ownership company, has chosen the Eclipse 500
to launch a new air charter service in India. The aircraft will be
operated under another company, promoted by Singh.
The company will use Eclipse 500s to expand its offering and
provide more business travelers a quick, affordable, and convenient
way to travel across India.
"The Eclipse 500’s very low acquisition and operating
costs, along with its comfortable cabin, make it the ideal aircraft
for enhancing business travel in India," said Singh. "We’re
confident, that with the plans we have for the Eclipse 500 in
India, we will provide our clients with a fantastic experience and
convenience of reaching their travel destinations at very
affordable prices."
