Charter Plane Demand Soars – Pacific Aerospace, makers of PAC750XL, Hires Dozens
In a time of economic uncertainty, charter plane production is booming, according to
Brian Hare, chief executive of Pacific Aerospace who has recently hired 40 full time employees due to high demand for their newest fleet member. The PAC750XL, which runs $1.7 million per aircraft, is in high demand for its functionality, structured engineering, multi-purpose use and the variety Pacific Aerospace can provide in terms of special order needs. “This is the first passenger aircraft designed and built in New Zealand, and we are very pleased with its results and the response we are getting from the global community.”
The planes were recently approved to fly to the United States, and since this announcement, contracts for the PAC750XL, designed and built in New Zealand, are in high demand by the United States, Europe and Australia. Three planes have already been built and have been earmarked for immediate delivery to the US, Switzerland and the UK.
Australian aviation authorities have followed suit April (2004), and Pacific Aerospace’s PAC750XL are now flying through the skies of Australia. Pacific Aerospace’s newest member is popular with skydivers and for sightseeing and exploration use. In addition, the aircrafts have been touted as dynamically precise and suitable for reconnaissance and medical purposes. Another client has used it for mineral exploration. Most importantly, it not only safely carries passengers, but cargo as well.
Based on the 20 orders on the books in just the past few months from sightseeing/tourist-related companies, private companies, government agencies, etc. Pacific’s goals are to expand markets and staff to 250 within the next four years. New Zealand’s business economy will continue to boom as Pacific Aerospace markets its aircraft, expands its client base, increase its number of employees and enlarges its factory location.
