Companies Will Focus On HBC's Turbine-Powered Aircraft
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC)
unveiled a partnership with ExecuJet of Zürich, Switzerland,
at EBACE in Geneva on Monday. The companies have gotten together to
provide delivery and initial phase operation support for
international customers of HBC's line of turbine powered aircraft.
ExecuJet has operations worldwide and offers a full range of
services and aircraft support through a program called SimplyFly
Jet Solutions. The agreement is designed to augment Hawker
Beechcraft's existing international sales support staff and
resources by accessing some of the assets of ExecuJet's 800
employees located at its five regional offices around the
world.
"As our markets and our product lines expand, we continue to focus
on ways we can ensure that our customers enjoy a world-class
ownership experience from day one," said Shawn Vick, HBC executive
vice president. "SimplyFly Jet Solutions is, in essence, a one-stop
shop for addressing the details that often make aircraft
acquisition and operation a challenge, especially for first-time
buyers or those who have not previously based their airplanes
internationally. SimplyFly Jet Solutions is an efficient and
already well-established program that will ensure our customers
have specific and experienced assistance in addressing things like
importation and regulatory issues, financing, technical or crew
assistance - and do it through one source."

HBC's partnership with ExecuJet will
apply to its current line of turbine powered aircraft, which ranges
from the seven-passenger Beechcraft King Air C90GTx turboprop
offering a cabin that is 50 percent larger than some very light
jets, to the composite fuselage Hawker 4000 which was
certified by EASA just in time for EBACE, and features seating for
up to 10 passengers and non-stop range of over 3,000 nautical miles
with four passengers and full reserves. The list also includes the
Hawker 900XP, Hawker 750, Hawker 400XP, Beechcraft Premier IA,
Beechcraft King Air 350i and Beechcraft King Air B200GT.
