Zhenjiang city officials worked closely with AeroJones\nleaders to identify the right location for the company\u2019s new factory. The\nfacility, new from the ground up, is located near Dalu General Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AeroJones owner, Mr. Jones Chen, said, \u201cWe are very pleased\nabout the relationship with leaders of Zhenjiang. We look forward to a long and\nprosperous relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AeroJones expects to employ 200-250 people in the new\nfactory and will provide housing for its workers next to the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to marketing manager Michael Chou, the planned\noutput of the new factory \u2014 the number of aircraft produced annually \u2014 will\nreach 240 aircraft in the CT series. This is the best selling model in the\nUnited States, presently the world\u2019s largest single market for such aircraft.\nAs AeroJones serves the Asia-Pacific market for this popular model, a new\nfactory anticipates great demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Construction of the new facility will start this summer in\nJuly and builders will take one year to complete the project, reported Mr.\nChou. After moving all production to the new factory in Zhenjiang, the Xiamen\nfactory will be closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In choosing Zhenjiang, AeroJones Aviation succeeded with\nmultiple goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Access to an airport \u2014 this allows aircraft like the AeroJones\nCTLS to be test flown before delivery to customers. Factory test flying is key\nto assure CTLS is the highest quality aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Efficiency \u2014 an all-new facility in Zhenjiang will\nsimplify manufacturing processes. This saves money and time contributing to\nbetter value and service for CTLS customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Airplane access \u2014 flight schools, prospective dealer\nrepresentatives, other buyers, plus government inspectors of the CTLS can fly\nto Dalu General Airport to tour the factory, take demonstrations flights and\nmeet key personnel from AeroJones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Geographic location in China \u2014 the large city of Shanghai\nis only a one-hour high speed train ride making it easier to get flight\ninstruction in CTLS. Student pilots may also visit the new factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since beginning six years ago, the AeroJones factory in\nXiamen has performed well but the company is seeking increasing interest in\ntheir modern and very sophisticated aircraft so AeroJones must grow to meet the\ndemand anticipated for China and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region\nwhere AeroJones operates. The new Zhenjiang facility can be perfectly planned\nand has room to expand as business grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have been working closely with CAAC as we prepare to\nbuild the new factory,\u201d said Mr. Hsieh Chi-Tai, General Aviation Development\nVice President for AeroJones Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. \u201cAeroJones has\nsecured all credentials needed to produce and deliver CTLS aircraft in China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primary markets for AeroJones Aviation include China and\nTaiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan, Korea,\nThailand, and other countries in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
