Zurich-based ExecuJet Aviation Group has started taking orders for the Aerion Supersonic Business Jet (SSBJ), even though it is not expected to be ready for delivery until 2014.

The company is taking refundable deposits of $250,000 for the jet, which is being developed now at Aerion’s Nevada headquarters. ExecuJet has signed a letter of intent for 40 early delivery positions for customers outside the Americas, with a sale price per jet of $80 million at 2007 exchange rates.

“Market demand has driven our decision to begin accepting deposits,” says Brian Barents, Aerion vice chairman. “We have been approached by a number of prospective customers wanting to secure positions. We would be remiss to ignore their enthusiasm and interest.”
