Default Cessna To Build Skycatcher Overseas Despite Cheap Dollar


Cessna SkyCatcher HQ to Be Announced This Week


CESSNA TO BUILD SKYCATCHER OVERSEAS
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#196645)
Cessna CEO Jack Pelton has confirmed what many suspected when the
Cessna 162 Skycatcher -- and its $109,000 price tag -- were
introduced earlier this year. In an interview with The Wichita
Eagle (http://www.kansas.com/107/story/236262.html), Cessna CEO
Jack Pelton said that to make that price target "a major part of
that content has to be built someplace else." Cessna intends to
announce where the little aluminum high-wing will be made at a
news conference on Wednesday. The company has searched the world
looking for the right manufacturer.

Meanwhile, Airbus CEO Thomas Enders said the euro has now "crossed
the pain threshold" and that the rate of the dollar's fall "hardly
leaves room for reasonable adapting."
