employees and strengthening its sales and marketing network in region.

“Hawker Beechcraft continues
to demonstrate its commitment and confidence to this growing market, which is
of great importance for our overall growth strategy,” said Jeff Anastas, HBC

a business aircraft. With the establishment of our new regional headquarters
office in Beijing
and a stronger team on the ground, we are in an even better position to grow
our market and demonstrate how we are the best choice for Chinese business
aircraft buyers.”
