One In Every Five Executive Jets Delivered In 2010 Was Made By
Embraer
According to data from GAMA, Embraer showed the most growth in
the executive aviation market in 2010. The company delivered 145
executive jets during the year, an increase of 23 aircraft over
2009, which was the highest, in absolute terms, among all
manufacturers. Embraer’s 2010 market share reached 19%, or
almost one in every five executive jets delivered worldwide was
produced by Brazilian planemaker.
“Embraer holds a strong commitment to business aviation
and spares no efforts to surpass customer expectations,” said
Luís Carlos Affonso, Embraer Executive Vice President,
Executive Jets. “With this in mind, we have launched six new
jet models over the past six years, in order to offer quality
products and services that flexibly meet the needs of each type of
customer.”
The entry level Phenom 100 was the world’s most delivered
executive jet, with 100 units delivered during the year. The Phenom
300, with 26 delivered, was at the top of the list in the light jet
category, not a bad accomplishment for an airplane in its first
year in the market. The Legacy family, which includes the
recently-FAA-certified Legacy 650 made 11 deliveries. The
ultra-large Lineage 1000, which is the biggest executive jet made
by Embraer, and the corporate versions based on the commercial
E-Jets platform, totaled eight deliveries. Embraer says all of
these contributed to making it the company that showed the greatest
growth in the executive aviation market.
