Embraer Executive Jets will showcase Lineage 1000, Legacy 650 and Phenom 300 executive jets at ABACE in Shanghai. The show is the largest event in Asia that highlights business aviation products and services.

ABACE is being held between April 16-18, 2013 at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, China.

“We have been witnessing the rapid growth of China’s business aviation market,” said Ernest Edwards, president, Embraer Executive Jets. “In 2012, business aircraft deliveries in China grew 40% compared to 2011. The market has been very receptive to Embraer Executive Jets and we expect to see continuing strong sales in the region.”

Since the delivery of the first Embraer executive jet, the company has booked firm orders for 28 aircraft and received options for five more in this region.

The Lineage 1000’s range of 8,149 kilometers (4,400 nautical miles) enables nonstop flights from Beijing to Copenhagen and from Shanghai to Anchorage, with eight passengers and NBAA IFR fuel reserves. It is the only ultra-large jet to be able to serve Aspen, London City and Teterboro.

The Legacy 650 can carry up to 14 passengers a distance of up to 3,900 nautical miles (7,223 kilometers), allowing nonstop flights such as Beijing to Dubai and Hong Kong to Adelaide (Australia), while carrying four passengers under NBAA IFR conditions.
