A Holland-based company has invested more than $100 million in Eclipse Aviation and will help the Albuquerque manufacturer of very light jet planes expand into markets in Europe, Russia and Turkey.
Eclipse President and Chief Executive Vern Raburn said Monday the equity investment by the European Technology and Investment Research Center, or ETIRC, will provide much needed financing after Eclipse failed to meet 2007 production goals for the Eclipse 500. Demand for the jet has skyrocketed outside of North America, he said.
