Mahindra Aerospace has re-branded its aircraft range to remove the GA designation.
The aircraft, formerly the GA8 and GA10, will now be sold as the Airvan 8 and Airvan 10. New logos have been designed that bring the brand closer to Mahindra's corporate identity.
Arvind Mehra, Executive Director and Global CEO of Mahindra Aerospace says the new branding encompasses the company's vision.
“The new logo and naming convention is closely aligned to Mahindra’s brand identity," he said. "It is dynamic, energetic, growth-focused, and true to our vision which is to build a robust business encompassing both aircraft and component manufacture for Indian and global markets.
“The new identity combines the Airvan name with the numbers 8 and 10 signifying seat capacity. We have also drawn inspiration from the ‘Ridge’, which has been creatively integrated, into the lettering. It is part of Mahindra’s brand identity and symbolises the pathway to achieving one’s potential and aspirations. Use of Mahindra’s signature ‘energetic red’ also gives the logo unit a fresh and vibrant feel."
Presumably the resurrected Nomad will fly as the Airvan 18 once it is back on the market.
