Eclipse owner: Customers to buy assets out of bankruptcy
An owner of Eclipse Aviation Corp. said he has found enough customers to buy the company out of bankruptcy.
About 20 customers have expressed interest in buying the Albuquerque, N.M.-based company, said Mike Press, one of the earliest owners of the company.
Eclipse, which manufactured light, high-performance jet aircraft and employed 1,000 in the United States, filed for bankruptcy in November, when it said it owed more than $1 billion in debts.
“It’s good news — good news for the country because the company will hire back employees and get the industry back up and running,” Press said no fax needed payday loans. “We want 100 percent of shareholders to be customers.”
Press said he expects he’ll have the firm commitment from customers to buy the company within the next two to three weeks.
Press and Mason Holland plan to call the resurrected company Eclipse Jet LLC. Eclipse Aviation had an operation at Albany International Airport.
