Flexjet has taken delivery of the first
Praetor 600 business jet from Embraer.
The aircraft will be used for the Flexjets
rapidly growing operations in Europe.
Flexjets deal with Embraer is valued at up to
$1.4 billion and comprises a
fleet of Praetor 600s, Praetor 500s, and Phenom 300s.
The company received the first-ever Praetor 500 in December 2019.
We have spent the past three years laying the
foundation to become a force in European private aviation, and we
are proud to exceed the expectations of this valued market, said
Michael Silvestro, CEO of Flexjet. The Praetor 600, with its
unparalleled technology, comfort, and performance, marked by
class-leading, intercontinental range, rounds out the fleet that
will help us to meet every possible need and desire of Flexjet
Owners in Europe.
Embraer and Flexjet enjoy a long-standing,
successful partnership. In 2003, Flight Options which merged
with Flexjet in 2015 became the first fractional ownership
program to introduce the Legacy Executive Jet. In 2010, they
introduced the Phenom 300, and in 2012 the company took delivery
of Embraers milestone 100th Phenom 300. Then in 2015, Flexjet
became the first fractional provider to offer the Legacy 500,
later taking delivery of Embraers milestone 1000th business jet
a Legacy 500 in 2016. The Legacy 450 then joined the Flexjet
fleet in 2016.
We are honored to further execute on our
commitment to Flexjet, our esteemed partner of over 17 years, with
the delivery of this first Praetor 600 to our long-standing fleet
customer, said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer
Executive Jets. Its a privilege to collaborate on the
introduction of not only the most disruptive and technologically
advanced super-midsize jet in the world but also on delivering the
ultimate experience in business aviation to Flexjet Owners in
Europe.
