Strong Relationship Continues With Launch Customer Of Embraer's
First Executive Jet
Embraer delivered its 200th Phenom 100 jet in a ceremony held at
the Company's Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil headquarters last month.
The aircraft was received by Swift Aviation Group in Phoenix,
Arizona, a private company that provides a wide array of aviation
services such as aircraft charter, and charter sales management,
among others.
This Phenom 100 was ordered by Swift in May 2006 and will reside
at their headquarters in Phoenix. Back in 2000, Swift became
Embraer's launch customer for the Legacy 600 jet, with an order of
25 aircraft. Today, its fleet also has the Phenom 100, the most
delivered executive jet in the world in 2010.
"We are delighted that Swift Aviation Group has received the
200th unit of our popular Phenom 100 jet," said Ernest Edwards,
President, Embraer Executive Jets. "With our longstanding working
relationship through the Legacy 600, I am confident this aircraft
will continue to contribute positively to Swift's business
operations."
"Among the aircraft in its class, the Phenom 100 provides the
best value for investment and is a great private aircraft," said
Jerry Moyes, owner of Swift Aviation Group. "The jet's style,
performance and comfort, in my opinion, exceed every entry level
jet in the market. After owning Legacy 600 aircraft and maintaining
a good working relationship with Embraer over the last ten years, I
only have high expectations for this aircraft and the customer
service that comes along with it."
Embraer is commemorating ten years in the executive jets market
in 2011. The Company's portfolio currently includes seven aircraft,
from the entry level Phenom 100 to the ultra-large Lineage
1000.
