Yes, intersesting news item.
I'm sure this will go better than the DayJet/Eclipse fiasco, as it's an entirely different scenario (proven business model, proven and already certified airframe, etc.), and I truly hope it all succeeds, it will surely be good for general aviation, but, as they say, I wouldn't be quitting my day job just yet.

I don't get it. :confused:
AvantAir are already doing this with Avantis, which are faster with a much larger cabin than the BE350, and roughly the same fuel burn.
Although, AvantAir don't seem to be doing that well :sad:

Bigger cabin? Not that I've seen.

At least it's a reliable airframe. And the company isn't grounded.

silverknapper: good points I guess. Not sure why they have so many problems. The Avanti is a cracking a/c. Here is a cabin comparison (from Piaggio website):
