DC Aviation Receives Milestone Aircraft
Embraer delivered the 150th Legacy 600 jet it has produced to
the German operator DC Aviation. This is the seventh Legacy 600 in
the customer’s fleet, and it will be used for charter flights
in the Europe and Middle East regions.
"Since our first Legacy 600 entered service, in 2006, we have
seen a steadily increasing demand for this aircraft type," said
Stefan Buschle, Managing Director of DC Aviation. "Its good
cost-benefit ratio and huge cabin convinced us, as operators, as
well as many of our customers, and meets the demands of our
sophisticated clientele on medium and long-haul routes. It's not
surprising that Embraer's 150th Legacy 600 is the seventh in our
fleet."
"It's an honor to deliver the 150th Legacy 600 to DC Aviation,"
said Luís Carlos Affonso, Embraer Executive Vice President,
Executive Jets. "This is a significant milestone, after having
delivered the 100th just over a year ago. In less than six years of
operation, the Legacy 600 has achieved a 15% market share in the
super midsize category."
Operating in the European market since 2002, the Legacy 600 has
been met with great acceptance for its comfort and three spacious
cabin zones and walk-in baggage compartment. Additionally, the
aircraft is the only super-midsize jet certified to fly into and
out of the London City and Cannes-Mandelieu airports.
DC Aviation with headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, is rated
among Europe's leading business jet operators. Formed by the merger
of the former DaimlerChrysler Aviation and the Cirrus Group, in May
2007, the company is headed by its three Managing Directors --
Dieter Heinen (the Chairman), Marc Ambrosius, and Stefan Buschle --
and focuses on business jet operation, charters, and
maintenance.
