Further, the Global Customer Support (GCS) upgrade
programs for the Hawker 400XPR and 800XPR are attracting
a strong positive response in the marketplace. The 2013
slots for the factory designed, engineered and supported
Hawker 400XPR program are sold out as the program
completes its final certification phase. In
addition, the GCS team and its factory-owned service
center network, Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS),
continue to focus on supporting all Hawker and
Beechcraft products. As evidence of this team’s
experience and expertise, its seven U.S. HBS locations
received the prestigious Diamond Award from the Federal
Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Maintenance Technician
Program earlier this year, the FAA’s highest distinction
for excellence in aircraft maintenance training.
“Beechcraft Corporation’s first quarter success is a
great start for our new company,” Boisture said. “Our
plan throughout last year’s restructuring was to emerge
as a stronger, more agile organization able to compete
in any economy. We are pleased with how our customers
are responding to our products and services.” In
business since 1932, Beechcraft has built more than
54,000 aircraft and more than 36,000 continue flying
today. It leads the industry with a global network of
more than 90 factory owned and authorized service
centers. The company’s headquarters and major
manufacturing facilities are located in Wichita, Kan.
