Embraer Executive Jet Deliveries Down Over Last Year There was reason for Embraer to introduce the Phenom 300E at the recently concluded NBAA-BACE. The Phenom family of light executive jets has long been the backbone of sales and deliveries for the Brazilian airframer but things seem to be slowing down a bit with this aircraft and overall deliveries are down by approximately 20%. For the first 9 months of the year the airframer has delivered 59 jets versus 74 units for the same period last year.
For the nine months ended 30 September, the Brazilian airframer shipped 40 light jets – 11 Phenom 100 EVs and 29 Phenom 300s – and 19 large jets, comprising seven Legacy 450s, five Legacy 500s, six Legacy 650s and a Lineage 1000E. For the same period in 2016, 48 jets were shipped which included: 10 Phenom 100s and 38 Phenom 300s – and 26 large jets – six Legacy 450s, 12 Legacy 500s and eight Legacy 650s. To address the slight slide, The Phenom 300E will debut in 2018 with the new re-imagined interior. http://www.jetforums.net/threads/news-embraer-launches-phenom-300e-with-re-imagined-interior.2434/ Legacy 450 and 500 owners will also have, as an option, Gogo's Avance L5 4G high-speed air-to-ground connectivity system available from early 2018. This service provides internet coverage across the continental USA and in parts of Canada and Alaska. For more information: Embraer Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
