At the Embraer booth (No. 7510) yesterday, fractional operator Executive AirShare announced an order for seven Phenom 100 very light jets (VLJs) for delivery in the summer of 2010, with options for seven more. Embraer also revealed that Premier Aviation signed a contract at EBACE for four Phenom 100s that were already included in the Phenom backlog. Premier, based in Leixlip, County Kildare, Ireland, plans to fly the Phenom 100s in fractional share and charter operations. The Brazilian-made Phenom 100 is scheduled for certification in 2008.

“The Phenom 100 is the largest and most capable of all the VLJ offerings and we look forward to adding this aircraft to our fleet,” said Executive AirShare CEO Robert Taylor. He believes the Phenom 100 will help the company keep pace with “strong demand for the company’s unique concept of fractional aircraft ownership.”
