Also Announces Opening Of New Service Centers In Chicago And
Dallas
Nextant Aerospace has entered into an agreement with Beechcraft
Sales and Service GmbH (Beechcraft Augsburg) to open the first
factory-approved service center in Europe for Nextant-manufactured
aircraft. Nextant also announced Monday at the NBAA convention in
Las Vegas Monday that it has entered into agreements with Emery
Air, Inc. to provide service for the 400XT in the Chicago area and
with Jet Works Air Center to provide service in the Dallas
area.
Speaking at the National Business Aviation Association’s
(NBAA) 64th Annual Meeting and Convention, Nextant Aerospace
President Jim Miller said, “Beechcraft Augsburg has a long
history and excellent service reputation in Europe, and we are
excited to have it designated as our first international service
center. We are especially pleased with the timing of this
agreement, since two of our earliest deliveries of the Nextant
400XT will be going to European operators. This service network
expansion ensures that our customers will have global access to
factory-approved service, just as they would when purchasing a new
aircraft from any manufacturer.”
Nextant presently operates maintenance centers in Teterboro, NJ,
West Palm Beach, FL, Las Vegas, NV, Sacramento, CA, Birmingham, AL,
and, Cleveland, OH, where it operates two separate facilities. The
addition of Beechcraft Augsburg, Emery Air and Jet Works Air Center
expands the service network to ten locations in the U.S. and
Europe.
Miller added, “The agreements with Emery Air and Jet Works
Air Center to provide service for the 400XT in Chicago and Dallas,
respectively, expands our service footprint in two key U.S.
markets. These companies have long-standing reputations as premier
service providers among current Hawker 400 owners and operators. We
expect that the availability of top-notch, factory-approved service
centers will be an added attraction for buyers.”
Based at Augsburg Airport in the greater Munich area, Beechcraft
Augsburg is the largest maintenance organization for Hawker
Beechcraft aircraft in Europe. This makes it particularly qualified
to service the 400XT, which is based on a remanufactured airframe
from the Beechjet 400A/XP aircraft.
“We have a 35-year record of providing service that meets
the highest standards of technical efficiency, quality and
reliability. We are proud that Nextant Aerospace has selected us to
provide maintenance, repair and other services for the Nextant
400XT, and look forward to meeting the needs of the owners of this
remarkable aircraft,” said Beechcraft Augsburg Managing
Director Hans Obermeier.
