Hawker Beechcraft Products Selected for Flight Inspection and Airway Calibration Missions in Indonesia, South Korea and Taiwan

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) today announced during the Singapore Airshow orders from the Indonesian, South Korean and Taiwanese governments for aircraft to be used for airway calibration and flight inspection missions. The aircraft – a Hawker 900XP, Hawker 750 and King Air 350 – will play a vital role in these countries’ commitment to providing the safest airways and airfields to air carriers, and meeting the latest international regulations and standards.

The Indonesian, Korean and Taiwanese governments recognize the advantages of Hawker Beechcraft airplanes, not only in upfront and on-going costs, but also in overall performance,” said Jay Gibson, vice president, Special Missions and Corporate Government Relations. “The three governments join nearly 30 countries around the globe that have purchased a total of 100 new Hawker Beechcraft airplanes for flight inspection and airway calibration missions in the last 50 years.”

The aircraft chosen for these essential missions come from across the company’s broad product range. All three provide the payload and range to efficiently execute flight inspection and airway calibration missions, while offering lower acquisition and operating costs than traditional military aircraft. The aircraft will be delivered to the three governments throughout the coming months.
