K2 SmartJets Already Flying Type
At this week's Farnborough International Airshow, Embraer signed
a new order with K2 SmartJets, of Greece, for two more Legacy 600
aircraft. The value of the deal, at list price, is US$ 53.86
million, based on January 2009 economic conditions. The first
delivery is scheduled for 2009.
"We are honored that K2 SmartJets has such confidence in our
executive jets that they are confirming additional orders less than
a year after they introduced the first jet of this type," said
Colin Steven, Embraer Vice President, Marketing and Sales –
Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, Executive Jets. "We are very
pleased to contribute to the expansion of this successful young
company, knowing that their customers appreciate the unparalleled
combination of luxurious comfort, space, and performance of the
Legacy 600."
K2 SmartJets received its first Legacy 600 in July 2007. With
its market growing rapidly, the two additional jets will allow the
air charter operator to respond to the demand from corporations and
private individuals for ad hoc charter flights to various
destinations in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
"The service introduction of our first Legacy 600 was so
successful that we are thrilled to confirm our second and third
aircraft," said Andreas Karotsieris, CEO of K2 SmartJets. "The
Legacy jet is ideal for premium VIP travel from our Athens base,
and our customers enjoy the stylish comfort, ample space, and
convenient amenities."
Embraer says Greece has shown to be an important and expanding
market for the Legacy 600. Four jets of this model have already
been delivered to Greek customers to date.
