flight hours and invoicing,” said Ed Dolanski, Vice President – Customer Support Operations for Raytheon Aircraft. “We are
creating industry-leading teams that provide greater flexibility and convenience for our customers in turn changing the landscape
for customer service in aviation.”
“This agreement provides real value to the operators of Raytheon aircraft through the CAS worldwide network of service and
support centers,” said CAS Senior Vice President and General Manager Harry Gregory.
Raytheon Aircraft designs, manufactures, markets and supports Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft for the world’s commercial,
military and regional airline markets.

commercial, business, corporate and military operations. Additional logistics capabilities include on-board services, service
