Beechcraft
to Showcase Aircraft and Service Capabilities at AeroExpo 2014
Teotihuacan en línea. Beechcraft Corporation and its
regional distributor, Aerolineas Ejecutivas, today announced that it will
exhibit a Beechcraft King Air 250, King Air C90GTx and Baron G58 at the 11th
International Aviation Trade Show & Convention (AeroExpo) from March 6-8 at
Toluca International Airport in Toluca, Mexico.
“Reliability, payload and
range make Beechcraft’s turboprop and piston products popular with a wide range
of customers throughout Mexico,
including special mission and government use,” said Keith Nadolski, president,
Beechcraft Americas. “Today, Beechcraft owns more than 40 percent of the
business turboprop market in Mexico,
where some 144 Beechcraft King Airs are registered.”
The company supports its
customer base in region with two factory-owned service centers (Hawker
Beechcraft Services) in Mexico,
which support both Hawker and Beechcraft products: one facility in Toluca
(MMTO) and one at the General Mariano Escobedo International Airport (MMMY) in Monterrey. The Monterrey center opened in Sept. 2012 with the first paint
facility in Mexico
dedicated to general aviation.
In October 2013, the
company announced a follow-on sale of its Beechcraft T-6C+ military trainer to
the Mexican Air Force (FAM). The order followed an initial order of six T-6C+
aircraft from the FAM in January 2012; all 12 aircraft have been delivered to
an advanced training base in Mexico’s
northern region. Beechcraft also provides FAM with parts support and field
service representatives for technical expertise and training of maintenance
personnel.
Aircraft at Beechcraft’s
AeroExpo static display include:
King Air 250 – Building on a reputation of proven performance, the
next-generation King Air 250 features composite winglets and lightweight
composite propellers, delivering improved runway performance, range, speed
and enhanced climb. Passengers travel in quintessential King Air comfort,
easily moving about in the spacious square-oval cabin over long-distance
journeys. The King Air 250 further defines mission reliability with a ram
air recovery system that maintains peak performance when the anti-icing
system is activated, resulting in a high-performance, all-weather
aircraft.
King Air C90GTx – With advanced payload and performance enhancements, the
King Air C90GTx is part of a long line of hard-working turboprops. With
greater range and efficiency, this entry level twin–turboprop aircraft is
ready to meet the needs of owners and pilots, as well as value-conscious
corporations around the globe. The King Air C90GTx now comes standard with
a fully integrated Collins Pro Line 21™ avionics system – the same
sophisticated system found in large $30 million jets. Unchanged, however,
is the King Air’s singular blend of versatility, ruggedness, comfort and
quality.
Baron G58 – The twin-engine piston aircraft that pilots aspire to own, the
Baron G58 offers unmatched performance and range/payload capabilities in its
segment. It also features a premium cabin that provides the best ride of
any twin-engine aircraft, including flexible seating that allows for
seating of two, four or six people, with the option to reconfigure and
remove seats to accommodate mission needs and large baggage items. Its
flight deck includes fully integrated Garmin G1000® avionics with a GFC
700 flight control system and new GWX 68 color weather radar.
