Earlier this year, we reported that Cessna entered into a strategic agreement with CAIGA (China Aviation Industry General Aircraft), a subsidiary of AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China), to sell, assemble and support the Cessna Caravan in Shijiazhuang, China. The agreement has now developed into a contract for a joint venture company, which in addition to the Caravan assembly may develop and assemble new utility turboprop models, Cessna said.
“As general aviation continues to grow in China, Cessna is committed to offering the right products to serve the market complemented by the company’s unparalleled customer service,” said William Schultz, Cessna’s senior vice president of business development, China.
