New Zealand-based aircraft manufacturing company, Pacific Aerospace Ltd, has signed an agreement with Aerie Aviacao Executiva (Aerie) to become its sales agent in Brazil.

Pacific Aerospace design and manufacture the P-750, a utility aircraft used for passenger, freight, skydiving, and agricultural purposes across the globe. The P-750 is the world’s first Extremely Short Take Off and Landing (XSTOL) aircraft, making it the perfect aircraft to operate in Brazil’s rugged terrains.

Pacific Aerospace’s P-750 XSTOL III is the world’s most versatile utility aircraft. This PT6 turbine-powered aircraft has a unique quick-change modular floor system and easily removable role equipment, which allows the aircraft to be transformed rapidly between no less than ten distinct mission configurations.

The quick change, multirole floor allows P-750 operators to move easily between different role configurations to maximise aircraft utilisation. The different configurations include passenger/cargo; freight; agriculture, solid and liquid; fire-fighting; survey, geophysical and photographic; medical evacuation; skydiving; and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance).

The P-750 is favoured by a range of operators across the globe. Bush operators in PNG utilise its STOL (short take-off and landing) performance, skydivers value its excellent climb rate, while photographic and geophysical aerial surveyor operators rely on its impressive and stable flight characteristics.

The P-750 is certified in 16 countries, including with FAA and EASA under FAR Part 23, and has been certified in Brazil, with technical support provided by Japi Aeronaves.

Pacific Aerospace CEO, Damian Camp, sees huge sales potential for the P-750 in South America and the company is looking forward to a successful relationship. “We’re excited to have Aerie on board as our sales agent, this partnership allows us to tap into a growing market where the P-750 is the ideal solution and where we can generate sales and recruit new P-750 fans,” says Camp.

Aerie specialise in business aircraft sales, with more than 100 aircraft sold in the past 11 years. President of Aerie, Cassio Polli, is very pleased about the sales partnership with Pacific Aerospace and is looking forward to generating sales for the New Zealand aviation company.
