Searey expands to China

By General Aviation News Staff · July 8, 2014 ·

Progressive Aerodyne has opened its newly established sales office in Shanghai, China, to support the sale of Searey light-sport amphibious airplanes.

The Searey was first presented to the China market at airshows in 2009. The company is working with Chinese aviation authorities to gain certification of the Searey. The Shanghai office will manage all marketing and sales and work with government authorities in China.

Adam Yang, CEO of Progressive Aerodyne, said, “We are excited about the expected growth potential of Searey light-sport airplanes in China. Our new sales office will allow us to penetrate the China market more effectively and access a very large and entirely new group of future Searey enthusiasts.”

Seareys are manufactured by Progressive Aerodyne,  located in Tavares, Florida. The company has an over 20-year history of manufacturing Searey kit airplanes, which are still flown worldwide. Progressive Aerodyne’s manufacturing facility is in full production of two certified models of the Searey, the Searey Light Sport and the Searey Light Sport Elite. In addition, the company continues to manufacture Searey kit airplanes.
