Russia grants Hawker 900XP type certificate

Hawker Beechcraft has announced
that it has received type certification for the Hawker 900XP business jet from
the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) Aviation Registry. The aircraft
now has been granted type certification in over 50 countries around the world.

“The Hawker 900XP is ideally
suited to the Russian market and with this certification we believe the
aircraft will be in great demand with charter companies and those with a
corporate or private fleet in the region,” said Sean McGeough, HBC president,
Europe, Middle East and Africa. “The aircraft is capable of transporting eight
passengers and two crew members at a distance of 5,069 km, making it possible
for the majority of Russia
to be accessed from any point. Furthermore, the Hawker 900XP can reach any
point in Europe from Moscow or St. Petersburg.”
