In 2005 Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing approached Alaris Aviation to participate in a major joint promotion. Alaris Aviation was selected above all other brokers because of the demonstrated ability to remarket late-model high-performance modern aircraft of all brands. The relationship continues to grow and flourish because, “Alaris is building their business primarily on the secondary market for technologically advanced aircraft” stated Randy Bolinger, VP of Sales & Marketing at Columbia. “Selling modern aircraft requires an in-depth understanding of various advanced avionics suites and options, benefits of composite construction, and the ability provide excellent customer service to a high-net worth demographic.”
Columbia aircraft are so robust that they are the only aircraft to meet the stringent FAA Utility Category certification requirements since 1968. The aircraft are built around the “Safety by Design – Not by Default,” safety philosophy that ensures that there is No Single Point of Failure. With redundant electrical systems (either of which can start the aircraft and run all standard systems), 8 flap hinges, 6 aileron hinges, 3 rudder hinges and a superior NASA-proven wing design for spin resistance (300/350) and spin recoverability (400) design – Columbia’s safety record is the envy of General Aviation.
To initiate the purchase of a new Columbia, you may be interested in hiring Alaris Aviation to sell your current aircraft. We look forward to the opportunity to work for you and are excited about your purchase of a high-performance technologically advanced Columbia Aircraft.
