Hawker Pacific has ordered six Beechcraft King Air 350i turboprops and expects to begin taking delivery of the aircraft later this year.
Hawker Pacific, a sales and support company, said the orders came in response to “increasing inquiries from customers looking to reduce costs without sacrificing quality or performance.” It said the King Airs would support commercial and special missions operations across Australia and Southeast Asia.
The first of the aircraft is scheduled for delivery later this year, with three slated for delivery in 2013 and two in 2014.
