Rheinland Air Service Will Market, Support TBM 850
Daher-Socata has made an agreement with Rheinland Air Service
(RAS), headquartered at Düsseldorf-Mönchegladbach
Airport, to be the distributor, service center and parts supplier
for its TBM range of aircraft in Germany and Austria. The
announcement was made last week at the AERO International air show
in Germany.
In addition to the distributor contract RAS, has ordered two
Model Year 2010 TBM 850s, which will be delivered later this year.
One will be utilized as a demonstrator for RAS and is to be based
at Düsseldorf-Mönchegladbach Airport, while the other
will be available for sale.
RAS is an established maintenance center for regional airliners
in Germany, and has extended its expertise to business and general
aviation services – including spare parts distribution,
avionics repair and aircraft sales. Additionally, RAS has FBO
(fixed-based operator) operations at Düsseldorf-Weezee and
Düsseldorf-Mönchengladbach airports, delivering avgas and
jet fuel. More recently, RAS expanded into operating the Business
Aviation Terminal at Munich Executive Airport (formerly
Oberpfaffenhofen).
“Daher-Socata is pleased to welcome RAS into our network,
as this is a company that has clearly demonstrated its capabilities
in the German market –which strategically is the most
important for European general aviation,” said Nicolas
Chabbert, Senior Vice President of the Daher-Socata Airplane
Division.
“We thank Daher-Socata for its trust in our organization
to market the TBM 850 in Germany and Austria,” added RAS CEO
Johannes Graf von Schaesberg. “The 2010 AERO International
event is an excellent opportunity to start our partnership for the
sales and support of new TBM 850s.”
