PILATUS DEALERSHIP
Pilatus Aircraft has appointed Pro-Star Aviation of Londonderry, New Hampshire as its new dealership for the north-eastern USA. The new dealership will be responsible for sales, marketing and service of the PC-12 NG single-engined turboprop in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.
SHOW CANCELLED
The National Business Aviation Association has cancelled next month's Asian Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition, due to the "continuing economic downturn". The Hong Kong-based event was scheduled for 11-12 February. The Washington-based trade association says the economic slump has also forced it to downsize its inaugural Light Business Airplane conference in March. The San Diego, California-based event has been changed from a three- to a two-day conference on 13 and 14 March and the size of the indoor exhibits has been reduced along with the pricing. "As the economy has constricted dramatically since LBA was conceived, the challenges confronting the entrepreneurs and pilots who own and operate light business airplanes have increased," says NBAA.
