And You Should See What's Coming, Says Company
Some recent informal discussions among a number of the
power-players in general aviation revealed that one of the most
"watched" companies, competitively-speaking, in the business is
Diamond Aircraft. Something of a silent giant, thus far, Diamond is
finally showing why they are worthy of such scrutiny.
Diamond Aircraft
reports that its first quarter results were the best ever, with 57
units delivered through March 31st, 2004. But the real story is in
the future, as indicated by the record number of orders received in
April 2004. During the single opening week of April 2004 alone,
Diamond received 167 secured deposits from
customers and its Diamond Regional Distribution Centers (DRDC's).
Significantly, 41 of these orders were actual retail sales, with
the balance being DRDC orders.
Although sales were strong for all Diamond models, the current
sales leader is Diamond's innovative DA42 Twin
Star, with a world wide total of 122 orders received in
April alone and a total order book approaching 400
units. Diamond credits strong Twin Star sales to its
superior performance, safety, high level of technology and unique
position in the market place, and also to the fact that with the
DA42 certification on schedule and customer deliveries commencing
before the end of this year, Diamond is proving yet again that it
can deliver in accordance with its aggressive certification and
product development schedules.
