Beechcraft Bringing Market-Leading King Air Turboprops to ABACE Beechcraft Corporation will focus its display at the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE) April 16-18 in Shanghai, China, on its line of business turboprops – a segment where it continues to see increasing interest, deliveries and market share throughout the Asia Pacific region. In its first major international show as the newly restructured Beechcraft Corporation, the company will showcase a Beechcraft King Air 350ER, King Air B200GT and King Air C90GTx at its static display. Analysis of recent JetNet industry data shows Beechcraft has a 64 percent market share in the business turboprop segment. Of a total 660 business turboprops in the Asia Pacific region, 421 aircraft are Beechcraft products. Further, King Air deliveries to Asia increased by 41 percent in the five years 2007-2011 compared to the previous five years 2002-2006. “We have been an active part of this dynamic market for many decades and in terms of long-term growth, it is no surprise that Asia-Pacific represents one of the most exciting markets for us,” said Richard Emery, Beechcraft’s president of sales for the Asia Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. “We’re seeing increased sales activity for our piston and turboprop aircraft in China and the broader region, so there clearly is a developing appetite for shorter range, smaller aircraft and we are aiming to further enhance our leadership position in this market.” For more information: Beechcraft 9709 E.
