Company relocates regional sales office to Vienna International Airport

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) today announced its participation in the 2010 Aero Friedrichshafen from April 8-11 in Germany. In partnership with its international dealer Hbc Aviation AG, the company will display five models of its family of Beechcraft products at static display #40.

“Germany and Austria are crucial areas for growth in Central Europe,” said Sean McGeough, president, Europe, Middle East and Africa region. “General aviation has always been a pivotal component of successful businesses in the region. Hawker Beechcraft products are a natural fit for this important role and will continue to be in the future due to their value, quality and efficiency.”

Additionally, in order to facilitate growth in the region, HBC recently relocated its Austria sales office to Vienna International Airport’s General Aviation Center. Byron Severson, regional sales director for Central and Eastern Europe, is overseeing this office, which is located on the first floor of the VIP Terminal, Objekt 140, Steinriegelweg, A-1300 Wien-Flughafen.
