BJETS of India Orders 10 Super-Midsize Jets
On Tuesday at EBACE 2008, Hawker
Beechcraft announced a significant order from BJETS, an emerging
fractional and block charter company based in India, for 10 Hawker
4000s -- the planemaker's advanced super-midsize business jet --
with options for an additional five. The total value of the
contract with options is in excess of $330 million.
This new order compliments the previously reported BJETS order
for the purchase of 11 Hawker 900XP and nine 850XP business jets at
the 2008 Singapore Air Show, as ANN reported, for a total
of 20 new Hawkers for the company's fractional fleet throughout
India and Southeast Asia. The Hawker 900XP and 850XP were derived
from the popular the Hawker 800 series.
"BJETS' new service is forging the way in fractional ownership
in the Indian and Southeast Asia region. We're delighted to once
again provide them the best aircraft in the industry for their
private jet travel services," said Brad Hatt, president, Commercial
Aircraft at Hawker Beechcraft. "The fact that BJETS has chosen the
Hawker 4000 for their customers is a significant endorsement for
the aircraft."
BJETS is a private company that provides innovative business
aviation services to corporations and high net-worth individuals in
Asia. Offering their services in India and Southeast Asia, the
emerging fractional and block charter company is based in Mumbai,
India and Singapore, with a flight operations center based in
Hyderabad, India.
"There were several key factors that led to BJETS choosing the
Hawker 4000," said Mark Baier, CEO, BJETS. "Its advanced design,
first-class performance and exceptional cabin surpassed the
standards we expect for our customers. HBC's unmatched commitment
to customer service and support makes them an outstanding partner
as well."
In 2007 India grew to become the third largest geographic region
for sales of HBC products behind the United States and Brazil.
Hawker aircraft are supported in the region by the recently-opened
InterGlobe Hawker Beechcraft Authorized Service Center in
Delhi.
