Sino Swearingen has appointed Business and Commuter Aircraft (BCA) of Lyon-Bron Airport as the authorised representative for SJ30-2 sales and service in France. The company will also be responsible for other French speaking countries around the world.

BCA has ordered one SJ30-2 with four more to come. The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery in 2005, with the balance to deliver in 2005 and 2006.

“We are very pleased to have been chosen as a Sino Swearingen distributor,” said Charles James, coo for BCA. “The performance capabilities of the SJ30-2 are well known and will be ideal for our customers with long range missions throughout Europe and Africa.”

Among the long list of countries besides France in BCA’s area of responsibility are Monaco, Algeria and Morocco. Formed in 2001 as an evolution from the former Transair company, BCA operates 1,000 square metres of hangar facilities and offices at Lyon-Bron. The company services Beechcraft and Cessna aircraft, as well as piston-powered aeroplanes.
