The company will showcase its super-midsize Hawker 4000 business jet, Hawker 900XP midsize business jet and Beechcraft King Air 250 turboprop. Recent JETNET data shows that nearly half of all business jets registered in Russia and the CIS, in the segments in which HBC competes, are Hawker or Beechcraft products, as well as 35 percent of all business turboprops. “The leadership of the entire HBC product line is evident in this region as our products deliver the perfect balance of performance, reliability and value for the Russian and CIS markets,” said Sean McGeough, HBC president, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. “With such a strong reputation already established here, we see great potential for growth as the benefits of flying privately become more established and accessible.” HBC will feature the following products at booth D110:
