Embraer Executive Jets delivered 63 Phenom 300
light jets in 2016, the highest volume of any business jet model for the year,
according to a report made by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association
(GAMA).
This is the fourth consecutive year that the
Phenom 300 achieves this mark, and it has accumulated 266 deliveries since 2013.
“We are elated to once again see the Phenom
300 receive such an important recognition from the market. We are very grateful
to our customers for the validation of both the aircraft’s original design as
well as all their input, which has made this jet the best in its class,” said
Paulo Cesar Silva,
Embraer CEO. “Our customers’ reaffirmation of trust in us only strengthens our
resolve to deliver the best customer experience.”
In seven years of operation, the Phenom 300
fleet is approaching the 400 aircraft mark, having sustained more than half of
the light jet market share since 2012. The aircraft is in operation in 30
countries and has accumulated close to 500,000 flight hours. Embraer is
continuously investing in its competitiveness with enhancements to its comfort,
technology and operational efficiency.
The Phenom 300 is one of the fastest light
jets, having established several speed records with the National Aeronautic
Association and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. |
