NEW DELHI, (BNS): IGGA, a group company of InterGlobe Enterprises, has signed with Pacific Aerospace for the exclusive sales of the P-750 XSTOL aircraft in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the Maldives.

The introduction of the P-750 will be the first XSTOL (Extremely Short Take Off and Landing) aircraft to enter the Indian sub continent.

“The performance of P-750 XSTOL makes this a perfect aircraft for the diverse terrain of the region due to its extremely short take off and landing capability in hot and high altitude conditions and exceptional payload performance,” said President and CEO, InterGlobe General Aviation Nigel Harwood.

As the world’s most versatile aircraft, not only is it the ideal passenger carrier, it is the perfect aircraft to carry out a variety of Special Missions, already proving itself in some of the most demanding environments across the world, a company statement said.

Damian Camp, Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Aerospace said, “India is an enormous market for performance based aircraft and no other aircraft comes close to the performance, ruggedness and reliability of the P-750 XSTOL. With IGGA’s market knowledge and reach we are sure the P-750 will become a major part of Indian aviation.”

The addition of the P-750 adds a new element to InterGlobe General Aviation Pvt. Limited (IGGA), current product offering, including exclusive representation for Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and Dornier Seaplane Company and further emphasizes IGGA’s mission to set the benchmark for General Aviation in the region.

The aircraft is being used by the UN World Food Programme in Chad, Sudan and Nepal. Recently Pacific Aerospace also partnered with L-3 Communications to offer the P-750 XSTOL to the US Air Force for missions in Afghanistan.
