Details are still being carefully researched but ANN has confirmed that former Icon Aircraft CEO and self-described industry visionary, Kirk Hawkins, has sued the company... while the (now) former President/COO Thomas Wieners has departed the scene with practically zero acknowledgement from the company (who have failed to return calls).
A June 26th lawsuit filed by Hawkins names ICON AIRCRAFT, and a number of foriegn companies as well as some unnamed parties as the defendants in a complaint alleging: (1) Breach of Contract; (2) Breach of the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing; (3) Intentional Misrepresentation; (4) Retaliation; (5) Tortious Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage; and (6) Declaratory Judgment. NBAA has JUST announced the cancellation of its 2020 Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), which was scheduled to take place in Orlando, FL, Oct. 6-8. The cancellation is based on clear guidance from public health officials at all levels of government addressing the unique, complex COVID-19 related challenges associated with large indoor venues. For example, the Florida Department of Health has recently issued an advisory recommending that individuals avoid participation in gatherings of more than 50 people.
