Hawksland are appointed as Advisors to the Board of RAI

Indonesia’s PT. Regio Aviasi Industry (RAI) have appointed Hawksland Associates to their Board of Advisors. RAI’s President – Director – Agung Nugroho signed the agreement with Hawksland’s Managing Director – Gary Windas in early September 2017 whereby Hawksland will assist RAI with critical advice, guidance and support in the further development of the RAI company and the development of the R80, a new generation high speed regional turboprop aircraft.

Hawksland will also support RAI with providing access to Hawksland’s extensive network of Senior Associates many of which are considered leading authorities within the aerospace industry. Specifically, Hawksland will provide assistance and advice spanning all areas of the RAI company and the R80 program including: strategy development, business planning, raising investment, valuation, offset, program, engineering, operations, industrialisation, technology, certification, commercial and procurement and supply chain management, aftermarket MRO and spares, aircraft sales, lease financing.

RAI’s Chairman – Prof. Dr-ing. B.J. Habibie (former President of Indonesia) recently met with both Gary Windas and Nigel Garner – Senior Associate in Jakarta and was delighted to welcome Hawksland to support the RAI leadership team. Prof. Habibie stated, “Homeland Indonesia is blessed with the largest archipelago in the world, a very wide air space, which must be entwined for the greater progress and prosperity of the people of Indonesia. Air transport is a vehicle for empowerment that can strengthen the relationship between the regions, improve the national economy and increase endurance as a nation. The need for air-transportation must be filled by Indonesia itself, in improving competitiveness for self-reliance in production and directing the domestic and regional markets. Through the R80 program, we’re designing and manufacturing regional aircraft to fill the needs of the market, provide jobs for the youth of the nation, to build a strong network with our stakeholders and revive our national aerospace industry.”

With the lowest operating cost in its class, the R80 offers high dispatch reliability, advanced avionics for increased safety, high passenger comfort and is friendly to the environment by nature of its low fuel consumption.
