Press Release

Issued by Britten-Norman.

July 28, 2010

As part of the continued development of the products and services offered by Britten-Norman (BN) the company is now offering aircraft brokerage services to its customers.

The Company focus has always been on supplying products and services which support BN's strong manufacturing heritage. The sales team supports a product line which is employed in diverse roles ranging from role equipped aircraft operating in a multitude of surveillance missions through to commuter Islanders operating short haul sectors into unprepared, hot and high landing strips.

BN has, for many years tailored its sales process to the specific individual customer requirements. This led, in 2003, to the formation of a maintenance repair and overhaul subsidiary that specialises in the refurbishment of earlier model Islanders, bringing them up to date with some of the latest available modifications, including both airframe and avionics upgrades.

To complement the factory approved pre-owned sales programme, BN is now introducing an OEM approved brokerage service. With the new service, BN offers hangarage, maintenance and demonstration of the aircraft, thereby reducing the cost of sale for the seller. In addition to this, the buyer has the ability to purchase with confidence, safe in the knowledge that the aircraft has been inspected by the OEM. Should additional modifications be required by the customer, these can be offered at the point of sale.

One of the key benefits for the seller is the access that the new service provides to BN's worldwide database of potential buyers. The sales team is also able to contact all current Islander and Defender operators globally to market the aircraft. BN's ability to reach into this niche market is unique.
