King Air 250 gains EASA certificate

Hawker Beechcraft announced that
its Beechcraft King Air 250, the latest model of the Beechcraft King Air family,
has achieved the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification.

The
Beechcraft King Air 250 received FAA certification in June 2011, followed by
type certification from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) in
November.

“We’re looking forward to
starting deliveries of the King Air 250 in Europe very soon,” said Sean
McGeough, president, Asia, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

“Its versatility has made
the King Air a popular choice in the European market for decades. In fact,
according to EUROCONTROL, the King Air B200 series has been the most flown
business aircraft in Europe over the last four
years. Now, as a result of HBC’s customer-focused engineering, the King Air 250
is even more attractive to operators in the region – delivering substantial
improvements in takeoff performance while increasing speed, range and climb.”
