Aero India 2011 News

Wichita: Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) will feature its flagship business jet, the Hawker 4000, along with a Hawker 900XP and a King Air 350i at Aero India 2011 from Feb. 9-13 at Air Force Station Yelahanka (VOYK) in Bengaluru, India. HBC, along with its regional distributor InterGlobe General Aviation, will participate in the biennial event organized by the Government of India’s Defence Exhibition Organisation in association with the Confederation of Indian Industry.
“Hawker Beechcraft has a long history of selling products into India,” said Dan Keady, HBC vice president, South Asia. “The King Air has been and remains a very good fit for this market. Its great reliability, durability and versatility make it especially well-suited for operations in both the highly developed urban locations of the country and in areas with undeveloped air strips. India’s increasingly important role as a global center for high-tech enterprises also makes it a logical and expanding market for Hawker Beechcraft family of business jets.”
In 2010, HBC certified the Hawker 4000, King Air 350i and C90GTx in India. Due to the expected growth in the region and to better serve its customers, HBC recently appointed Todd Hattaway as Regional Sales Director. He is co-located with HBC’s Field Service Representative Hugh Waud in New Delhi. Further, HBC will open a bonded warehouse in the country and place an additional Field Service Representative in the region in order to meet customer needs.
