Hawker Pacific has embarked on an extensive demonstration tour that will take the GA8 Airvan into the ASEAN market.
The tour kicked-off in Singapore last week and will showcase the GA8 extensively in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Indo China.
Tony Jones, Chief Operating Officer, Hawker Pacific Asia said customers have been waiting eagerly for the Airvan to arrive.
“People have read the specs, reviewed the data and are now looking forward to experiencing the GA8 firsthand," he said.
"This is exciting for us because the GA8 always surprises and surpasses expectations – there is more to this aircraft than meets the eye. It is rugged, has great payload, very low operating costs and is incredibly versatile, making it perfectly suited for operators in this part of the world.
“This is quite simply a unique aircraft, uncompromisingly appealing to the utility, tourism and even private markets which are vast in the ASEAN region. We value demonstration tours because there is no comparison to experiencing an aircraft directly. Given the pent up demand and positive reception this aircraft continues to receive, the GA8 Airvan is an extremely welcome addition to our demonstration fleet and we’re proud to be showcasing it across the region.”
Hawker Pacific was appointed as the authorised dealer for the GippsAero GA8 Airvan and GA10 single-engine turbo-prop for ASEAN in September 2012.
