Nextant Aerospace, which introduced the concept of remanufacturing to the business jet market, has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification for its Nextant 400XT aircraft, the first completely remanufactured business jet. The FAA Certification is the final step in the approval process for the 400XT, a plane that is the equivalent of a new jet at a cost approximately half that of competing models. The first retail deliveries of the planes will begin in October 2011, part of a 40-plane order from Flight Options, the nation’s second-largest fractional jet company.
The 400XT is delivered as a new aircraft with a two-year, tip-to-tail warranty and a full suite of support services previously available only in new aircraft. They include a national service network to support the plane with centers in seven key markets around the country as well as comprehensive flight training, including a common training curriculum and a Level D Full-Flight Simulator.
