Sparfell and Partners have been named a sales consultant for Aerion’s in-development AS2 supersonic business jet. The Mach 1.4 jet is expected to seat 12 passengers while saving travelers up to three hours across the Atlantic and five hours across the Pacific. Aerion is planning to fly the AS2 in 2023 and achieve certification in 2025.

 


“We are aligning with the leading names in aircraft sales and service. Sparfell and Partners has a well-deserved reputation in Europe and throughout the world for its acumen and the level of service it provides its clients, and also for its knowledge of the business aviation market up to the largest VVIP aircraft,” said Aerion chief commercial officer Ernest Edwards.

 


Aerion has teamed with GE for engines and Lockheed Martin for production and engineering of the jet. “It’s our business to understand technical progress in corporate aviation. We’re persuaded that Aerion, with the involvement of GE and Lockheed Martin, will be first to market with a supersonic jet. And we intend to be first with them,” said Philip Queffelec, chairman of Sparfell and Partners.
