Norwich based SaxonAir has announced an order for a new Hawker 900XP. Delivery of the new aircraft is expected in the spring of 2012. The addition of the new Hawker jet is part of SaxonAir's ongoing fleet expansion.
Chris Mace, managing director of SaxonAir says "We are very excited by the new opportunities that the Hawker 900XP will offer both SaxonAir and its customers. This new aircraft will allow SaxonAir to expand its business by offering clients a greater choice of non-stop destinations with an enhanced in flight experience. We considered several other aircraft in its class, however the Hawker 900XP delivered a combination of range, speed, payload and comfort that we could not find in any other mid-size jet."
SaxonAir will be offering the aircraft for private charter.
SaxonAir operations manager, Lee McGahan says "We feel it is important to provide our clients with the same level of service and on board benefits that they might be used to on Super Midsize and Heavy Jets. A multi lingual flight attendant, hot food, satellite telephone and wireless internet connection will all be included as part of the first class cabin service. After all, the aircraft may be occupied for hours at a time, and it is important that the client feels as comfortable and 'at home' as possible."
Sean McGeough, Hawker Beechcraft president - Europe, Middle-East and Africa, said: "We know that SaxonAir carried out a very thorough review of the market before placing this order. It's a testament to all of the team at Hawker Beechcraft and a reflection of SaxonAir's previous experience with our aircraft that they have selected the 900XP. Having our own service centre close by in Chester was also seen as beneficial in maximising aircraft availability, with the whole package providing better value and a competitive advantage to SaxonAir's business." .....
