Garmin’s Aviation Product Support Ranked #1
OLATHE, Kan./September 11, 2007/PR Newswire — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), today announced that it was ranked number one in avionics product support by Aviation International News, a leading aviation industry magazine. This is the fourth consecutive year that Garmin has earned this coveted position.
Aviation International News’ annual avionics product support survey ranked 14 avionics manufacturers in seven categories: parts availability, parts cost, aircraft-on-ground (AOG) response, warranty fulfillment, technical manuals, technical reps and overall product reliability. Garmin finished first place in five of the seven categories. According to the magazine, “But by and large, pilots and mechanics were effusive in their praise for Garmin’s products, judging the quality as good to excellent and support among the industry’s best.”
“This accomplishment speaks highly of the entire Garmin team and our dedication to our customers,” said Matthew Harrah, director of aviation product support. “With great products and great people supporting them, we look forward to maintaining our industry leadership going into next year and for many more years to come.”
Garmin is the leading provider of OEM, retrofit and portable avionics equipment to the general aviation market. From the popular WAAS-certified GNS 430W /530W series of integrated communication and navigation panel-mount displays to the G1000 avionics suite that is the glass-cockpit of choice for numerous general aviation aircraft manufacturers, Garmin is committed to designing and manufacturing innovative products that increase situational awareness and improve safety of flight.
