GENEVA, May 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer announced
today that Germany-based charter
operator Air Hamburg is the launch customer for the new Legacy
650E. Air Hamburg will expand its
Embraer business jet fleet with an additional order for three new
Legacy 650E. The contract has a value of USD
77.7 million, based on current list prices, and will be
included in the Company's 2017 second-quarter backlog. The aircraft
fleet delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of this year. The
agreement was announced on the opening day of the 17th European
Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland.
"We are very pleased with this new order from Air Hamburg, which
will further propel their growth through exceptional operational
costs and a superior customer experience with the Legacy 650E's
unique three-zone cabin and abundance of amenities," said
Michael Amalfitano, President &
CEO, Embraer Executive Jets. "The Legacy 650E's unmatched value
proposition results in the productivity and efficiency sought by
global charter operators and corporate flight departments."
Embraer has witnessed a growing interest in the Legacy 650E by
charter operators. As one of Europe's largest business jet service
providers, Air Hamburg added one Legacy 500 as well as one Phenom
300 to their fleet, earlier this year, totaling 11 Embraer
aircraft, with eight Legacy 600/650, one Legacy 500 and two Phenom
300.
"The Legacy 650E is an obvious choice, considering the
unparalleled experience that our current fleet of Legacy 600/650
already provides our customers on their flights to destinations
throughout Europe, Russia, and the Middle East," said Simon Ebert, Partner, Air Hamburg. "The new
version of this proven platform best serves our growth plan by
continuing to offer a premium charter service with the latest
technologies onboard one of the industry's most comfortable and
reliable business jets."
Featuring three distinct cabin zones, with the largest cabin and
baggage compartment in its class, the Legacy 650E also carries an
unprecedented 10-year or 10,000-flight-hour warranty, which is the
longest in the business jet industry.
