AVIC Readies for Delivery of Nextant Aircraft
Nextant’s local sales agent is displaying a C90 at ABACE and is set to receive first 400XTi.

Avic International Aero-Development Corp. (Avic ADE; Booth P102, Static Display), exclusive sales representative in the Greater China region for Nextant Aerospace, U.S.-based business aircraft remanufacturer, is displaying here at ABACE a Beechcraft King Air C90 turboprop twin–the platform for Nextant’s latest product, the G90XT.

When their partnership was announced at ABACE last year, Avic ADE was expected to take delivery of a Nextant 400XTi, a remanufactured Beechjet 400A/XP light jet, by the end of 2014. Since it’s remanufactured from an existing aircraft, the 400XTi, powered by Williams FJ44-3AP engines and featuring a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 integrated flight deck, costs about half the price of new aircraft in the light jet category, according to Nextant.
