Arizona's Universal Avionics has announced Hawker Pacific as its 2011 Top Dealer International award winner.
Strong
support of WAAS/SBAS-FMS installations on regional Dash 8 fleets, as
well as turboprops such as the Beechcraft King Air, has spurred sales of
Universal Avionics’ product range for Hawker Pacific this year.
“We’re
very excited to see Hawker Pacific attain the status of our Top Dealer
International,” Dan Reida, Universal’s Vice President of Marketing and
Product Support, said. “With their strong presence in Australia, Asia,
the Pacific and Middle East, we feel they’re a key partner in the
promotion of Universal Avionics’ products to this growing market.”
The
Hawker Pacific-Universal Avionics working relationship dates back more
than 20 years, and in mid-2007 Hawker Pacific established a Universal
Avionics Service Centre within its Australian Avionics and MRO facility
in Cairns.
“We are fortunate to provide support for over 400
customers in what we call our regional avionics network and we are
sincerely grateful for their continued custom that has enabled us to
achieve this significant milestone,” Jason Burzacott, General Manager
for Hawker Pacific’s, Australian Avionics business unit, said.
“At
a time where there is diminishing local support for avionics products,
Universal has invested considerable time and effort to ensure the Hawker
Pacific / Australian Avionics / Universal Avionics team can provide the
best sales and service here in the Asia Pacific region.”
Universal
Avionics will present Hawker Pacific with the award at the forthcoming
National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Annual Convention Trade
Show in Las Vegas, Nevada next month. Hawker Pacific CEO Alan Smith will
accept the award on behalf of Hawker Pacific.
Every year at the
NBAA Convention, Universal Avionics recognises one US-based dealer and
one international dealer out of the several hundred in its authorised
dealer network that achieve outstanding sales performance.
