Embraer Delivers 1,000th Business Jet Embraer just announced that it has delivered its 1,000th executive jet to one of its clients. The landmark aircraft went to FlexJet and was an Embraer Legacy 500. It is now the fourth of its kind to join the Flexjet fleet and is part of a firm order for both Legacy 500 and Legacy 450 jets. Flexjet offers travelers access to the world’s most luxurious fleet of private jets. Its fractional program fields an exclusive array of business aircraft—some of the youngest in the fractional jet industry—including Embraer Executive Jets’ bestselling Phenom 300.
“Embraer’s Legacy midsized aircraft are a natural progression for us since they meet a growing demand for jets with larger cabins, longer range capabilities and industry-leading operating economics,” said Michael Silvestro, Flexjet’s Chief Executive Officer. “As part of the Red Label by Flexjet fleet, the Legacy 500 and 450 will effectively deliver the speed, luxury and performance our Owners expect.” Delivering 1,000 business jets to more than 60 countries in just over a decade reflects our strong ability to listen to our customers and respond to them with innovative solutions for different needs,” said Marco Tulio Pellegrini, President & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets. “We are especially pleased to celebrate this important achievement with our distinguished customer, Flexjet, which has honored us with their trust since we first entered business aviation.” For more information: Embraer Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
