The board of directors of Mooney Airplane Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mooney Aerospace Group Ltd. (OTCBB:MASG) recently announced its approval of a new three-year business plan. The plan outlines the steps necessary to not only increase sales, but to offer a greater customer support experience to the more than 8,000 Mooney owners worldwide.

'After more than 50 years in the business, we are proud to say that our board stands firm in their belief in the Mooney brand,'said Tom Gray, managing director of Mooney Airplane Company.

'It was very important for us to get all of our team members on board to support this exciting new period for Mooney,'Gray said. 'The plan was met with overwhelming support. Now we begin the exciting task of implementing this plan and enhancing our value to the Mooney customer.'
