Hawker Beechcraft to Host Maintenance & Operation Seminars at NBAA

Hawker Beechcraft Global Customer Support (GCS) today announced it will host five Maintenance and Operation (M&O) seminars during the 63rd National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Annual Meeting & Convention in Atlanta. As the company’s largest M&O offering in its history at the show, each session will be dedicated to a different platform, including the Beechcraft King Air Series, the Beechcraft Premier, the Hawker 400XP, the Hawker 125 Series and the Hawker 4000.

“The seminars provide owners and operators up-to-date information on various performance accomplishments of each model and on modifications that are currently in progress, as well as on future projects and solutions that are in work for the fleet,” said Christi Tannahill, HBC vice president, Global Customer Support. “The format provides a great opportunity for our support personnel to gather feedback directly from owners and operators, take that information and then find ways to enhance our overall aircraft ownership experience.”

The NBAA M&O seminars follow a recently completed successful M&O tour with customers throughout the Middle East, Australia and Africa, which further demonstrates the commitment HBC has to providing a world-class ownership experience to operators of Hawker Beechcraft airplanes around the world. The tour spanned a distance of more than 33,000 miles and included seminars in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Lagos, Nigeria; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Sydney, Australia. During the tour, the Hawker Beechcraft GCS team met with more than 250 customers, representing over 300 aircraft from 14 countries.

The NBAA sessions will be held in Room B407 in the Georgia World Congress Center. The schedule is as follows:
