Hawker Pacific, Asia Pacific's leading aircraft sales, services and product support company, has completed delivery of two brand new King Air 350i turboprops to specialised aviation company AeroPearl.

The two aircraft will be used throughout the region for AeroPearl's Flight Inspection Contract with Airservices Australia and will be based in Brisbane. They are replacing two older King Airs and were ferried to Germany for modification at Aerodata ahead of delivery.

Mark Simpson, Business Centre Manager, AeroPearl, said the new King Air 350i turboprops represented an ongoing investment in the Company's market leading flight inspection fleet.

"As a specialised aviation company, we have a reputation for excellence, and this upgrade represents a key milestone for AeroPearl and our relationship with the King Air 350 aircraft and Hawker Pacific."

More than 40 people attended the Acceptance Ceremony which Tony Jones, Senior Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Flight Service Group, Hawker Pacific, noted was a reflection of the strong regard the industry holds for state-of-the-art aviation.

"These King Air 350i turboprops will provide unmatched value, fuel efficiency and comfort while also meeting the very specific needs of Aeropearl in fulfilling its contractual obligations with Airservices Australia."

The Beechcraft King Air 350i turboprop utilizes high technology for increased efficiency, providing a responsible, sustainable alternative. Not only is the King Air 350i the segment's greenest aircraft, it can also travel farther on less fuel – meaning consistent savings for operators. The King Air 350i's state-of-the-art design and performance enhancements represent new heights of power and durability, and a new interior means that it has the most comfortable and capable cabin ever offered in its class. Its legendary ruggedness, reliability and large cabin cross-section also make it the ideal platform for special missions enhancements, including air ambulance, aerial surveillance and reconnaissance.
