Commenting on the new agreement, Andy McFarlane, CEO of LEAL, said: We are thrilled to be adding Elixir Aircraft to our fleet, marking a significant step in advancing our training capabilities. After extensive market research, we found that the Elixir offers unparalleled safety, economy, and environmental credentials, making it the ideal choice for our single-engine aircraft needs.”
The order brings Elixir Aircraft’s order book to more than 300 aircraft, including orders, pre-orders and letter of intent.
