Diamond Aircraft and Diamond dealers announce “Fly Your First Year Free” offer

June 5, 2008, London, Ont. – Flying a DA40 XLS has always been a savvy choice: with one of the industry's best safety records, low insurance rates, affordable maintenance and a fuel burn of only 10 gph at 150 kts, the DA40 XLS is not only fun to fly, but also appealing to the fiscally responsible left-brain pilot.

Now, a good deal has just gotten better:  Pilots can fly a DA40 XLS for the first year for little more than their monthly payments.

By buying a new DA40 XLS between June 1st and July 31st, 2008, customers receive free maintenance, insurance, fuel and training for the first year of operation – a $13,250 value:
–    Free maintenance includes all scheduled maintenance, parts and labor, for one year or 250 hours, whichever comes first – a $2,750 value.
–    Free insurance is available up to $3,500 – which will cover most private, IFR pilots in a DA40 XLS.
–    Free fuel covers 100 hours of flying – at $5 per gallon and the DA40's low 10 gph fuel burn, or $5,000 of free fuel.
–    Free training is a $2,000 training credit, which customers can take at a Diamond Flight Center of their choice, and which can be used for transition training, or towards any rating, private or more advanced.

“We are very excited about this offer: it allows our customers to finance 90%  of the full purchase price of the aircraft, and enables them to have very few out-of-pocket cost during their first year of ownership”, explains Fred Ahles, President of Premier Aircraft Sales, the Diamond distributor in Florida. “The DA40 XLS has always been a very economical plane to operate – typically costing less than $1,000 per month – and with this special offer, there are few costs beyond the monthly payments for the entire first year of ownership.”

This offer expires July 31st, 2008 and is limited to inventory on hand at Diamond distributors. For more information, visit www.diamondair.com/firstyearfree, or call your local Diamond distributor.
