Jet Aviation orders a LEKTRO for its new Macau Operation

LEKTRO and long-time customer, Jet Aviation, kicked off ABACE 2015 by finalizing a deal on a new LEKTRO model AP8850SDA. This unit is slated to go to Jet Aviation’s new Macau operation.

LEKTRO pioneered the towbarless market when it developed the world’s first towbarless tug back in 1967. Combining its towbarless design with state-of-the-art battery power has resulted in the safest, most efficient and most environmentally friendly tow tractor the aviation industry has ever seen.

Jet Aviation’s new AP8850SDA (certified to handle up to the EMB-195/Lineage) is popular in FBO operations because of its wide versatility. It is small enough to handle even the small Lears and Citations, yet large and robust enough to handle the entire range of mid-sized business aircraft such as Dassault Falcon Jets, Bombardier Globals, Challengers, and the entire Gulfstream fleet (including the new G650).

This year LEKTRO is celebrating its 70th year in business under second generation, single-family ownership and continues to build on its strong reputation supplying safe and reliable equipment to FBOs, corporate flight departments, airlines and military operations. “Our products are in almost every country in the world today,” states LEKTRO’s executive vice president, Jesse Long. “It is a testament to LEKTRO’s unrivaled commitment to quality and unsurpassed level of customer support.”
