Eclipse makes first jet sales in India

Eclipse Aviation Corp. has sold 10 of its very light jets to Club One Air of New Delhi, India, marking the company's first sale of the Eclipse 500 plane in that market.
Mike McConnell, vice president of sales and marketing, announced the deal on Feb. 19 at the Singapore Airshow.
"Eclipse Aviation is experiencing a period of rapid international expansion," McConnell said in a news release. "Establishing a presence for the Eclipse 500 in India through Club One Air will introduce more people to the benefits of owning and flying on private jet aircraft, which continues to be the goal of Eclipse Aviation."
Club One Air -- India's largest non-scheduled air operator and first fractional aircraft ownership company -- chose the Eclipse 500 to launch a new air charter service in India. The aircraft will be operated under a separate company that will use the Eclipse 500s to expand its offering and provide more business travelers a quick, affordable and convenient way to travel across India, said Manav Singh, Club One Air's promoter and managing director.
