Legacy 450 Airplanes To Be Delivered This Year And Next
Embraer Executive Jets has revealed that AirSprint, Inc., a privately held fractional aircraft ownership company based in Calgary, Alberta, signed a purchase agreement for up to 12 Legacy 450, which consists of two firm orders with expected delivery in Q4 2016 and 10 purchase options with initial delivery dates starting in Q1 2017. This agreement has an estimated value of $198 million at the current list price, if all options are exercised.
The announcement was made at the opening of the Canadian Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (CBAA). The firm orders of this purchase agreement have been included in the Company's second quarter backlog. Deliveries of the Legacy 450 to AirSprint will begin as soon as the aircraft is awarded type certification by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter.
"This order to renew Canada's largest fractional aircraft fleet with the Legacy 450 is a remarkable beginning to our relationship with AirSprint, and an important milestone of our growth in the Canadian market," said Marco Tulio Pellegrini, President & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets.
