Firm To Distribute Nextant 400XT Remanufactured Business Jet In
Europe, The Middle East, India
Nextant Aerospace announced Monday at the Dubai Air Show that it
has entered into an agreement that authorizes Action Aviation to
become the exclusive sales agent for the 400XT in Europe, the
Middle East and India. The Nextant 400XT, which received full FAA
certification this year after a three-year development and flight
testing process and saw its first deliveries last month, has a
range of 2,005 nautical miles with four passengers and NBAA IFR
Reserves. Its range enables flights originating in Europe, the
Middle East and India to easily reach other major destinations
throughout Europe and Asia.
“We are pleased to partner with Action Aviation for
distribution of the Nextant 400XT in the key markets of Europe, the
Middle East and India,” said Jay Heublein, Vice President,
Sales and Marketing for Nextant Aerospace. “Action Aviation
has a proven track record of bringing the most innovative,
high-performance business jets and helicopters to the marketplace.
With offices in the United Kingdom, Dubai and Bangalore, India, the
firm is ideally positioned to serve each of these three target
markets and help ensure the success of the 400XT.”
“The 400XT’s exceptional range– 50 percent
greater than that of the Hawker 400 on which it is based, combined
with its speed and superior accommodations, makes it an ideal
aircraft for the midrange flights which are typical of Europe, the
Middle East and India,” said Hamish Harding, Chairman of
Action Aviation. “At a cost about half that of competing new
models, the 400XT provides a superior combination of performance,
comfort and value and we are confident that it will become the
preferred choice in private aviation. We are pleased that Nextant
has agreed to authorize us to be this dynamic new aircraft’s
exclusive distributor in these vital markets.”
The 400XT process employs a remanufactured airframe from the
Beechjet 400A/XP aircraft, enhanced with new, state-of-the-art
technology including the Williams FJ44-3AP turbofan engine, the
Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 integrated avionics suite, advanced
electronics and completely rebuilt interiors. The remanufacturing
process takes all life-limited components to zero-time status,
either through replacement or complete overhaul, which effectively
makes the 400XT a new plane in all material aspects even before the
addition of advanced technology. The 400XT is considered to be a
new type in Aircraft Bluebook. Further options include additional
avionics features and cabin entertainment including high speed
wireless internet.
Other performance improvements include a cruising speed of 460
knots; fuel efficiency improvements of 25-30 percent, depending on
the length of the flight segment and noise compliance that exceeds
Stage IV requirements. A number of orders have been received,
including a 40-plane order from Flight Options LLC, the
second-largest company in the private jet travel business.
