Nextant Aerospace

Nextant Aerospace, part of Kenn Ricci's Directional Aviation group, pioneered the concept of remanufacturing business jets by rebuilding Beechjet 400A/XP airframes as the 400XT and 400XTi with new Williams engines and Pro Line 21 avionics. Around 70 were delivered from 2011, largely to Flight Options and international charter operators, and the company later launched the G90XT King Air conversion and studied a Challenger 604-based 604XT. Nextant has not delivered new remanufactured aircraft in recent years and now concentrates on supporting the existing 400XT fleet.
