Accident aside, this is incredibly bad timing of these two Premier 1A accidents, as Beechcraft is in the mist of selling the Beechjet and Hawker lines!! Currently there is at least 5 companies bidding on the Hawker production line. (Two are from China).

Note; Annemasse Airport is just East of Geneva Switzerland, and located in France.
