Jackie Chan’s Embraer Legacy 650 to Make Singapore Airshow Debut

[HD videos below] In its first public appearance since delivery to the international movie star, Jackie Chan’s Legacy 650 landed in Singapore on Sunday for its debut at the 2012 Singapore Airshow, which takes place from 14 – 19 February 2012.

Identified by its distinctive paint scheme with two lively dragons painted on the body and the owner’s initials on the tail of the aircraft, Embraer Executive Jets’ brand ambassador’s ‘ideal business partner’ is the first Legacy 650 to be displayed at the Singapore Airshow. The aircraft is also Hong Kong-based Sino Jet’s fifth managed aircraft.

The Legacy 650 has a range of 3900 nautical miles with a maximum flying time of 7 hours. It is not only equipped with a state-of-the-art cockpit, three distinct cabin zones, advanced Wi-Fi technology and a fully equipped wet galley, but is also boasts one of the largest inflight accessible baggage holds and significantly reduced cabin noise.

Having only entered into service in 2010, the Legacy 650’s advanced technology, performance and intelligent luxury, have made it an award winning jet. It was crowned “Best of the Best” in the large executive jet category by Robb Report in 2011, and in 2012 was named “Best of the Best” by the Hurun report, one of the most widely recognized indices tracking the rapid growth of China’s high-net-worth individuals.

Since the entry into service of the first Legacy in Macau SAR in 2004, 18 Legacy 600/650s have been delivered and are currently in service in Asia Pacific. Most recently, 13 Legacy 650s were ordered by China’s Minsheng Financial Leasing Co. Ltd. one of the country’s leading executive jet leasing companies.

“The aircraft is not only our fifth managed aircraft. It is also the first Chinese-owned and China-based Embraer Legacy 650 in the world. The significance of this and the fascinating exterior paint scheme of the aircraft make it the most ideal Legacy 650 to be showcased. Embraer and Sino Jet hope the display would allow the world to witness this significant moment,” said Sino Jet Management Limited.
