Hawker Beechcraft Corporation has delivered the first Hawker 4000 business jet in China.

Certified by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in November 2009, China's first Hawker 4000 will be based at the Beijing Capital International Airport and will be utilised for both business and leisure travel by the HBC customer.

"The first delivery of a Hawker 4000 to a customer in mainland China is a milestone for us and for aviation in a country with one of the world's most rapidly expanding economies," said Justin Firestone, president, Asia-Pacific.

HBC recently exhibited the Hawker 4000, as well as the Hawker 750 and the Beechcraft King Air B200GT, at the Singapore Airshow.
