Embraer delivers milestone Legacy jet
Embraer Executive Jets have delivered the 200th Legacy 600/650 jet. The Legacy 650 was delivered to Minsheng Financial Leasing of China.
The Embraer Legacy 600/650 reached a milestone with the delivery of the 200th aircraft of the Legacy family, a Legacy 650 large executive jet, to China’s Minsheng Financial Leasing in a ceremony held at headquarters in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
This aircraft, one of the 13 Legacy 650s ordered by Minsheng in October 2011, will be used by an anonymous Chinese customer. As one of the largest financial institutions providing executive jets leasing services in China, Minsheng ordered three Lineage 1000 ultra-large Lineage 1000 executive jets as well.
“The Legacy 600/650 family has been well recognized by customers worldwide since the first Legacy 600 delivered in early 2002,” said Ernest Edwards, president, Embraer Executive Jets.
“The delivery of the 200th aircraft of the Legacy family within a decade eloquently reflects the success of the Legacy program. In addition, we are proud that Minsheng Financial Leasing, one of our most important customers, is part of this historic success by taking delivery of this aircraft,” Edwards concluded.
