Golf Champion Appears On Behalf Of HBC at Dubai

In Dubai to participate in the upcoming Race to Dubai Golf Classic, Sergio Garcia appeared today at the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) Chalet at the Dubai Airshow. Garcia, who turned professional in 1999 and plays on the U.S. Professional Golfers Association (PGA) and PGA European tours, signed autographs and discussed his own experiences as the owner of a Hawker 4000, which was delivered to him earlier this year.

"Sergio knows something about selecting the right tool for the job," said Sean McGeough, vice president, International Sales. "On his way to his seven PGA Tour and eight PGA European Tour wins, the standout shot-maker from Spain has had to decide which golf club to use on numerous occasions. He applied the same logic to his selection of a Hawker 4000 business jet and is very happy with the results."

HBC says the composite-construction Hawker 4000 is growing in popularity in Europe and the Middle East. The say Garcia's presence in Dubai is an example of how the long-range, reliable performance of the aircraft can meet even the most demanding of travel schedules. With his Hawker 4000, Garcia was able to participate in the recent HSBC Championship in Shanghai and the UBS Championship in Hong Kong, and then travel to Dubai with plenty of time to get acclimated and prepare for the upcoming Dubai World Championship later this week.

"I couldn't expect to compete at a championship level on the golf course if I didn't have a championship level airplane to get me there," Garcia said. "I am a firm believer in the value of Hawker products because with my previous airplane, a Hawker 850XP, I never missed a tournament. This made it a simple decision to purchase a Hawker 4000 and it too is proving to be an exceptional airplane. In addition to its comfort and performance, my lofty expectations continue to be surpassed by the support and customer-centered focus of the company."
