Embraer receives first Chinese order for Phenom 300

                   
Erdos General Aviation has become the first company in China to order an Embraer Phenom 300 executive jet.

Embraer announced that the aircraft will join the fleet of China’s Erdos General Aviation in the third quarter of 2013. The Phenom 300 was certified by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) last November.

“Having Erdos General Aviation as the launch customer of the Phenom 300 in China is an important milestone for Embraer Executive Jets,” said Guan Dongyuan, president of Embraer China.

“The new partnership is indeed a strong endorsement of Embraer Executive Jets. Our companies share the same vision of the promising future of China’s executive aviation market. The Phenom 300 has been well received worldwide by owner-operators, corporate flight departments and leading fractional providers alike, making it an ideal aircraft to satisfy customer requirements for comfort, performance and reliability. The introduction of the Phenom 300 in China validates its place as a global leader among light business jets.”

“It’s a great honour to be the first customer of the Phenom 300 in China, marking the beginning  of our partnership with Embraer Executive Jets,” said Shang Zhanhu, president of Erdos General Aviation “After comprehensive studies of the jet, we are confident the Phenom 300 is ideally suited to our customers’ needs for interior comfort and operating efficiency,” he added.

Since the first Embraer Executive Jets aircraft was delivered to Greater China in 2004, the company has booked firm orders there for 31 executive jets.
