Aircraft Will Be Operated By Transpaís Aéreo
Embraer Executive Jets has delivered the first Legacy 500 midsize jet to a customer in Mexico. The aircraft will be operated by Transpaís Aéreo, a subsidiary of the Lomex Group Aeronautics Division. The Legacy 500 was awarded type certification from Mexico’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority in June.
The Legacy 500 is proving itself to be a highly capable executive jet that is well-suited to the Mexican market. The aircraft can fly nonstop from Toluca to Manaus, Cancun to Vancouver or New York to London. The Legacy 500 has met or exceeded all performance expectations, with a smooth entry into service since its first delivery in the last quarter of 2014.
“We have been able to differentiate ourselves from the competitors by introducing truly innovative products for the segments in which we compete. The delivery of the first Legacy 500 in Mexico highlights the market trend toward business jets that combine performance, range, low-cost operation and cabin comfort," said Marco Túlio Pellegrini, President & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets. “I’m glad to see the first Legacy 500 enter service in Mexico.”
The Mexican market has played an important role in developing global executive aviation. With the second-largest fleet of business jets in the world, just behind the United States, Mexico’s strong business aviation culture highlights the need for a powerful tool that helps decision-makers compete in a marketplace that demands speed, flexibility, efficiency and productivity. The Legacy 500 is the midsize jet that exceeds customer expectations.
“We are very proud to receive the first Legacy 500 in Mexico,” said Hector Gonzalez, General Director of Transpaís Aéreo.“It will strengthen our relationship with Embraer products, being the largest Embraer Executive Jets operator in our country. We are sure that the Legacy 500 will be successful because of its exceptional performance and the comfortable attributes it provides."
