The Aircraft Was Delivered To An Undisclosed Customer Who Will Use It To 'Connect His Business Network In The U.S.'

Embraer has delivered the first Phenom 300 assembled at its Melbourne, FL facility to a customer who asked to remain anonymous. Phil Krull,  Managing Director Melbourne Assembly, Embraer Executive Jets, called the delivery a major milestone that "proves the maturity of our assembly facilities."

“We have quickened the manufacturing pace and will be able to accommodate a more demanding schedule," Krull said. "This is a testament to the hard work and professionalism of our employees both here and in Brazil.”

The customer delivery comes after a Phenom 300  was recently used to set a series of transcontinental records for light jets between Melbourne, FL, El Paso, TX, and Long Beach, CA..
 
“Market acceptance of the Phenom 300 has been very high,” said Bob Knebel, Vice President Sales – North America. “We have found the Phenom 300 to be particularly well received by owner-operators, corporate flight departments and leading fractional providers. This acceptance led to the Phenom 300 being the most delivered aircraft in the light-jet category in 2012.”
