Dépèche transmise le 10 octobre 2011 par Business Wire

CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avantair, Inc. (OTCBB: AAIR), the industry leader for fractional aircraft ownership and flight hour time cards in the light jet cabin category and the only publicly traded, stand-alone private aircraft operator, today announced its plans to take delivery of its third new Piaggio Avanti II aircraft since July 2011.

“Our success is a tribute to having the best product supported by industry leading service”

Avantair continues to buck the stiff headwinds affecting the entire private aviation sector. Avantair is one of the few fractional providers experiencing increases in demand for all of its program offerings and growing its fleet size.

“Our success is a tribute to having the best product supported by industry leading service,” said Steven Santo, Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to add these new Avantis to our fleet, as the aircraft has been lauded by our owners for its cabin comfort, performance and efficiency. Avantair’s Avanti truly changes the way people view private travel.”

As the most fuel-efficient aircraft with the lowest operating cost in the light jet cabin category, the Piaggio Avanti’s technological superiority provides Avantair with a compelling competitive advantage, making it the best value in the private aircraft industry. It offers an unparalleled combination of comfort, speed, performance, safety and efficiency. The Piaggio Avanti is the world's fastest and most fuel-efficient twin turboprop, rivaling the speed of most light cabin jets, while offering the cabin cross section of super mid-size aircraft.
