Straight from AIN Online:
NetJets Orders Another 40 Hawker Business Jets
Yesterday’s announcement that NetJets has ordered another 40 Hawker business jets brings to about $1 billion the total value of NetJets’ Raytheon Aircraft transactions since last December. That was when the fractional operator contracted for 58 Hawker jets, a purchase valued at about $360 million. The new order, exceeding $300 million in value, is for 20 Hawker 800XPs and 20 Hawker 400XPs to be based in Europe and North America. Deliveries are to be made starting next year through 2007. “Raytheon’s commitment to customer service and quality aircraft were key factors in our decision,” said NetJets chairman Richard Santulli. In addition to these orders, NetJets in February ordered two Hawker 800XPs and signed a comprehensive 10-year maintenance contract with Raytheon Aircraft. NetJets currently operates more than 500 business jets from five manufacturers and employs 2,800 staff pilots (including 500 hired last year, the company said).
