Full line up of business aircraft at Asian Aerospace ‘09

Friday 21st August, 2009

A 15-strong line up of business aircraft, more than double the number on show in 2007, will showcase at Reed Exhibitions’ Asian Aerospace 09 show in Hong Kong next month. The industry’s key eight OEMs – Airbus, Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault, Embraer, Gulfstream, Hawker and Piaggio have all committed to display aircraft in the static park, as Asia becomes an increasingly important market for sales and private charter.
The full line up is as follows:
Bombardier Global Express XRS, Challenger 605 and 850; Embraer Legacy 600; Gulfstream 150, 200, 450 and 500 (plus Jet Aviation with a newly outfitted G550); Dassault Falcon 7X, Falcon 2000; Airbus ACJ; Hawker Beechcraft 900XP; Cessna Citation X and the Piaggio Avanti II business turboprop.
“We are delighted to have such strong support from the business aircraft fraternity,” said Richard Thiele, Head of Global Sales – Aerospace & Aviation at Reed Exhibitions. “Although a relatively new sector in Asia, and in spite of the world economic turndown, 2008 was a record year for the business aviation market, particularly in Mainland China.”
The static aircraft display will complement the two half-day conference Reed is running in co-operation with Asian Business Aircraft Assocation (AsbAA) during 8th and 9th September at the all new Asia World-Expo venue.
