Diamond Aircraft announces dealer opportunities
London, Ontario

Diamond Aircraft announced today plans to offer distributorship opportunities which will change the company's distribution methods.

Previously, a direct sales approach has been employed by Diamond which has not allowed us to generate the sales volume necessary to make this business viable in the long term.

Diamond will be actively seeking dealers in North America and internationally to sell and service its' line of all-composite general aviation aircraft. The product line currently consists of the DA20-C1 Eclipse, the DA20-C1 Evolution, the HK36 series of motorgliders and the new DA40-180, Diamond Star.

Diamond Aircraft Industries is the world's leading manufacturer of type-certified composite general aviation aircraft.
