Emivest Aerospace, which is represented here at EBACE by UK-based distributor Action Aviation (static display), appears to be getting the SJ30 light jet program back on its feet. SJ30 Serial No. 008, the first aircraft built under the Emivest name since the Dubai-based firm became the majority shareholder of the San Antonio, Texas-based aircraft manufacturer last June, is slated to make its first flight this week before being completed and delivered this summer, the company said. That unnamed customer’s pilot, Debra Draheim, was also recently issued a single-pilot type rating for the SJ30.

“We look forward to the delivery of their aircraft so they can begin enjoying the speed, range and comfort that the SJ30 offers,” said Emivest Aerospace COO Joe Gullion. “This also marks the beginning of a new era for Emivest as we move into production.”
