Fractional provider Flexjet expects to take delivery of its first Embraer Legacy 500 by the end of this month, company CEO Michael Silvestro told AIN. In May, Flexjet placed an order for an unspecified number of fly-by-wire Legacy 450 and 500 midsize jets to augment the company’s order for 60 Bombardier Learjet 85s, a program now in limbo after Bombardier “paused” it in January.
