According to Russ Niles, AVWeb (free registration required), the Aero Toy Store has been name a “Factory Authorized Representative” for the supersonic business jet (from Aerion):
“The company, which has sales offices and FBOs for high-end business jets in Fort Lauderdale and Montreal and a sales center in Las Vegas, said in a news release that it already has 12 orders for the Mach 1.6 aircraft, which won’t be available for at least six years. Aero Toy Store CEO Morris Shirazi said he thinks the SSBJ is the next big thing for business aviation. ‘Interest from our customers in this new generation private jet already has been extremely strong and we’ve only just begun to introduce this revolutionary aircraft to a fragment of the market,’ said Shirazi. ‘It is my belief the Supersonic Business Jet is poised to become the new standard for corporate executive and private individual travel across the global arena.’”
ExecuJet, also a seller for the manufacturer, has announced 4 sales in India and 1 in Pakistan, as well as other orders in Europe and the Middle East.
The cost of the plane is $80 million, and it has a range in excess of 4,000 nautical miles. With a top speed of 1.6 Mach, a trip from London to New York would take just a bit more than 4 hours.
