The order book for Raytheon's Premier I has continued to grow with the signing of three of the entry level business jets by Aviation Leasing Group, London. ALG will place two of the jets, along with a recently ordered Beechjet 400A into a primary training regime for use by the Civil Aviation Training Centre in Thailand for Thai Airways' student pilots and other Pacific Rim carriers.

The other Premier I and a Beech King Air 200 will be assigned for corporate use: ALG was unable to tell EBAN the nature of this work or the name of the company who will own the aircraft. More than 250 Premier Is are on order, with a backlog reaching 2005.
