Two Plane Deal Also Includes Two Options
Aero-News has learned
ZAS Z-Aviation Services of Egypt reached an agreement with ExecuJet
Middle East to buy two spn light jets from Grob Aerospace. The
agreement was signed by Niall Olver, CEO of ExecuJet Aviation Group
and Sherif Zarkani, Founder and President of ZAS Z-Aviation
Services on the opening day of the Dubai Air Show.
The aircraft, which will be delivered in 2009, will be operated
by ZAS Z-Aviation Services. Options on a further two spn aircraft
have been made for delivery in 2010, confirmed Omar Zarkani,
Managing Director of ZAS Z-Aviation Services, who oversees the day
to day running of the company.
"We selected the spn because it is an efficient, flexible and
cost effective aircraft, easy to operate and very suitable for our
region and beyond. It also offers a very generously sized cabin. We
will fly the aircraft in a 6 and 8 seat layout, featuring the
stylish cabin and cockpit designed by Porsche Design Studio," added
Sherif Zarkani.
The deal was arranged by ExecuJet Middle East, the exclusive
sales agent and distributors of the spn in the region, through its
regional headquarters in Dubai.
"We are delighted to welcome ZAS Z-Aviation Services to our
growing number of Middle East customers. Increasingly more and more
established and start up companies are looking at the light jet
market and we believe we have a terrific niche with the spn with
its take off land anywhere capability and 1,800 nm range. The spn
is also an ideal complement to larger cabin, long range business
jets. We are looking forward to working with ZAS very closely
in the run up to service introduction and beyond," said ExecuJet
Middle East Managing Director Mike Berry.
Grob anticipates certification of its upcoming light jet in
2008.
