CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 18, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

    ARGUS International, Inc's Market Intelligence division has been retained

by Nextant Aerospace to conduct research designed to validate their next

product launch. After extensive internal analysis of their future aircraft

platforms, Nextant specifically tasked ARGUS with reviewing the viability of

the entry level market place.  

    "We are very pleased Nextant Aerospace selected ARGUS Market Intelligence

to conduct this research," said Shirley Mason, ARGUS International Senior Vice

President. "ARGUS believes that Nextant has chosen a growth segment that will

continue to thrive for the foreseeable future." She continued: "There are many

advantages of an entry level aircraft as a solution for an experienced

corporate operator or a new arrival to business aircraft use. This aircraft

segment can access the maximum number of airports available and they command

operating costs commensurate with their smaller size." This segment is

positioned for growth in both the domestic and international markets and

Nextant's successful track record in this space makes them uniquely qualified

to further expand this category.
