jetAVIVA Sold The Jet To An Undisclosed Client

Somebody had to be first, though it's not known who received the first Phenom 100 to be delivered to Australia. But we do know that jetAVIVA sold and delivered the aircraft to an undisclosed client "Down Under."

The Phenom was flown 13,142 nautical miles with stops in Canada, Alaska, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, before arriving in Australia. This delivery flight marked the first time ever for any Phenom 100 to land in Alaska, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, or Vietnam. The airplane was flown by jetAVIVA Manager of Phenom Acceptance and Delivery Captain Marcio Lucchese and First Officer Edwin Sahakian.

“The delivery flight went very smoothly,” says Captain Lucchese. “The airplane performed well and we enjoyed excellent service at each of our fueling stops. The key to a successful delivery flight is thorough planning.”

In 2009, jetAVIVA sold and delivered the first European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certificated Phenom 100 to a client in Ireland. Additional deliveries to Australia and other parts of Asia are scheduled through the rest of 2010.
