Company To Extend Global Reach
Eclipse Aviation has
reached yet another milestone. The company is
currently exhibiting, for the first time, at the Asian
Aerospace 2004 trade show in Singapore through February 29th.
Asian Aerospace is Asia's premier aerospace and defense technology
exhibition. In addition to sharing the latest information on the
Eclipse 500 jet with potential customers, Eclipse will work to
expand its global network to include distribution and product
support partners for the Eclipse 500 jet in Asia.
"European sales of the Eclipse 500 have been very strong, and
expanding our network in Asia is the next logical step in our
international growth strategy," said Vern Raburn, president and CEO
of Eclipse Aviation.
"We are seeing an increase in customer interest globally, and
our goal is to give customers in Asia access to the world's most
advanced very light jet with a world class distribution and product
support network in place to meet their market needs."
The Eclipse 500 will be RVSM capable for operation in all Asian
countries at FAA Type Certification in early 2006, considering most
Asian countries have implemented or will be implementing RVSM
requirements in 2005. The Eclipse 500 will exceed the ICAO Stage 3
noise requirements, which addresses the growing concern throughout
Asia about aircraft noise at airports located in large, congested
areas. With superior take-off and landing performance, unmatched in
any business jet, the Eclipse 500 will also be able to operate at
smaller Asian airfields located in many of the larger cities that
currently lack jet service.
