Flight Options Program Order Valued At Over $1.2 Billion
Fractional Jet program operator Flight Options has four
deliveries of new Phenom 300 jets scheduled for December. The new
aircraft will join three already in the US.
Flight Options Phenom 300s
"The Phenom 300 defines value," said Flight Options CEO Mike
Silvestro. "It is a clean-sheet, light-jet design that combines a
midsize-jet cabin, industry-leading passenger and cockpit
technology with extremely low occupied hourly rates – 25
percent below our current price leader, the Hawker 400XP."
The Phenom 300s will are equipped with satellite communications,
Wi-Fi/broadband, and in-flight entertainment. "Flight Options is
the only fractional aircraft ownership company holding the ARG/US
Platinum Rating for safety," said Flight Options Vice
President-Sales & Marketing, Matt Doyle. "The state-of-the-art
cockpit technology of the Phenom 300 highlights our continued
commitment to safety. This technology, combined with
category-leading speed, short-field capability and long range means
the Phenom 300 instills confidence and provides mission flexibility
unmatched by any light jet."
"As testament to the desirability of this amazing airplane,
every Phenom 300 delivered to Flight Options has been pre-sold,"
added Doyle, "even those due in early 2011. However, new
Phenom 300 customers may begin flying with Flight Options
immediately – regardless of when they take title to their
share."
The Phenom 300 also qualifies for all bonus depreciation
benefits for 2010 and those currently planned for 2011.
Flight Options placed its order for 100 Phenom 300 executive
jets, plus 50 options, in 2007. The total value of the order
exceeds $1.2 billion, at current list price. The company
expects to receive aircraft deliveries over the next 10 years.
