Empire Aviation Group Will Serve As International
Representative For GCC
Aero-News has learned Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC)
appointed Empire Aviation Group (EAG), a new aircraft sales and
general aviation company based in Dubai, as their international
sales representative for select countries in the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC).
An agreement was signed at the 2007 Paris Air Show 2007 this
week by H.E. Sheikh Tariq Bin Faisal Al Qassimi, chairman of Empire
Aviation Group and Emirates Investment Group, and Brad Hatt,
president of Commercial Sales at Hawker Beechcraft Corporation.
Under the new agreement, Empire Aviation Group will be
responsible for supporting Hawker Beechcraft sales efforts in the
GCC, specifically Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab
Emirites, through its Empire Aircraft Sales
subsidiary.
"This agreement with
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation represents a significant milestone in
the development of Empire Aviation Group and creates a very strong
aircraft sales platform for the new company in the GCC," said al
Qassimi. "Empire Aviation Group was created to service the aviation
interests of Emirates Investment Group but will also help meet the
demand for private aviation across the region, which is growing
strongly."
Empire Aviation Group was formed in 2007 to manage the regional
aviation interests of Sharjah-based Emirates Investment Group and
in response to the opportunity of the regional aviation market. The
company operates out of Dubai International Airport.
"Hawker Beechcraft Corporation is delighted to sign this
agreement with Empire Aviation Group covering one of the most
exciting markets in the world for private business aviation," Hatt
added. "This new company leverages the extensive experience of the
leadership team in international and regional aviation markets and
we will be looking to their regional knowledge to enhance Hawker
Beechcraft’s sales in the region."
