"During the last several years, I have been negotiating hard to facilitate the Next-Gen Alpine. As you know, we invested in the D-Model STC to differentiate ourselves and secure our collective future. I'm happy to announce the acquisition of ALL the assets of Great Lakes Airlines. Included in the purchase are twenty-five Beechcraft 1900D models and two Embraer 120s, well over 20,000 Be-99/1900C/1900D/EMB120 spare parts, production and inspection tooling, engine overhaul tooling, propeller parts and tooling, tugs, vehicles, and a ton of infrastructure. Basically, everything that can move is being crated up and relocated to Billings, Montana. This is a huge successful moment for our company." - Michael Dancy, CEO
Congratulations on the purchase. Do you see these additional airframes as growth or replacement aircraft. In any event, as a former Laker happy to see the fleet being put to good use!
Top copy indicates *27* (25 BE1900D + 2 EMB120) but bottom copy indicates 26 (24 +2)
Which is correct?!
Thank you
Thanks for pointing that out, it is twenty-five 1900D models we had a typo in there.
Michael,
Congratulations on the acquisition. I'm sure you and your team will do great things in the near future.
