Hawker Beechcraft receives order for 10 Hawker 4000s from BJETS

Geneva, Switzerland: Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) announces a significant order from BJETS, an emerging fractional and block charter company based in India, for 10 Hawker 4000s — the world’s most advanced super-midsize business jet—with options for an additional five. The total value of the contract with options is in excess of $330 million.
This new order complements the previously announced existing BJETS order for the purchase of 11 Hawker 900XP and nine 850XP business jets, a total of 20 new Hawkers for their fractional fleet throughout India and Southeast Asia. The Hawker 900XP and 850XP were derived from the world’s most popular midsized business jet lineage, the Hawker 800 series.
“BJETS’ new service is forging the way in fractional ownership in the Indian and Southeast Asia region.
BJETS is a private company that provides innovative business aviation services to corporations and high net-worth individuals in Asia. Offering their services in India and Southeast Asia, the emerging fractional and block charter company is based in Mumbai, India and Singapore, with a flight operations center based in Hyderabad, India.
In 2007 India grew to become the third largest geographic region for sales of HBC products behind the United States and Brazil. Hawker aircraft are supported in the region by the recently-opened InterGlobe Hawker Beechcraft Authorized Service Center in Delhi.
