Hawker Beechcraft to display three aircraft at India Aviation

As Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) prepares for the India Aviation exhibit from March 14-18 in Hyderabad, the company stated that it continues to lead the market for aircraft delivered into India over the last decade. Industry data shows that more than 60 per cent of all business aircraft from turboprops to super-midsize business jets delivered into India in the past decade have been Hawker Beechcraft products. According to JETNET research of these segments, 58 per cent of the total business aircraft registered in India are HBC products.

“In the segments in which we compete, Hawker Beechcraft is proud of its market share leadership in India,” said Dan Keady, Vice President, Asia, Australia and India. “For years, the family of HBC business turboprops and jets has been in-country and proving that they are an excellent fit for this region.”

The HBC fleet in India includes aircraft from across its product line, with the most popular models being the Hawker 125 series, King Air B200/250 and King Air C90.

HBC will showcase three of its products from March 14-18 at the India Aviation exhibit and conference. Chalet #4 at Hyderabad Airport/Begumpet Airport (VOHS) will include a Hawker 4000, Hawker 900XP and King Air C90GTx.
