Hawker Beechcraft Delivers First Hawker 750 To Jet Asia Limited

First Of Four 750s On September 2007 Order

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) celebrated the start of customer deliveries of its Hawker 750 this week.

The Hawker 750 -- which sports top range/payload performance and 50 percent more total cabin volume than its nearest competitor -- was delivered to Jet Asia Limited for use in the Asia Pacific region on Wednesday, May 28.

The newest aircraft in the Hawker family, the Hawker 750 was announced at the National Business Aviation Association convention in October 2006. The aircraft is another evolution of the erstwhile Hawker 800-series, and offers a cabin that is wider, taller and longer than other aircraft in the segment.

The Hawker 750 also retains the Hawker line's full fuel, full seats and full bags capability. Under typical passenger/baggage loading scenario the Hawker 750 offers more range and nearly tripled the max payload capability previously offered to customers in that segment.

The planemaker says demand has been so high, that the next available units are in 2010.

"There was an industry need for the Hawker 750 in the light-midsize aircraft segment, as demonstrated by a large backlog that includes a four aircraft order from Jet Asia made last year," said Brad Hatt, president, Commercial Aircraft. "We're meeting our customers' needs for a spacious light midsize that provides unprecedented performance and value."

Jet Asia Limited, based in Macau, is Asia's premier aircraft charter and management company. The delivery is part of an order made by the company in September of 2007 for six of the company's newest jets, two Hawker 900XP mid-size jets and four Hawker 750 light-midsize jets.

The 750 will be used in support of Sociedade de Jogos de Macau (SJM), a casino company owned by Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau (STDM), and to further develop the explosive Asian jet charter marketplace. Jet Asia Limited was incorporated in Macau in 1997 for the STDM corporate flight department. Executive charters are offered under authority granted by the Macau Air Operator Certificate.

"We are honored to deliver this fine aircraft to Jet Asia Limited," said Ted Farid, vice president, New Business Development. "The Hawker 750 is ideally suited for several international locations like Europe and Asia Pacific as it offers customers midsize cabin and comforts at a light-midsize price, with a range capable of non-stop, point-to-point travel anywhere in the region."
