JetSuite delivers Phenom 100 to US client

JetSuite, a private jet charter company, has announced the successful inspection, export, import, and delivery of its first client Embraer Phenom 100. The company has 100 additional Phenom 100 light jets on order. Some of those planes will be available for corporations and private parties who enter into contracts and agreements with JetSuite.

The production and delivery inspections were conducted in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, making it the first Phenom delivery to be based in the West coast of the US.
The company worked closely with the client to organize the turnover from Embraer.

The Phenom 100 is the industry’s best cabin value private jet. According to the JetSuite press release, “it [Phenom 100] will efficiently accommodate the majority of trips flown in the U.S.”

“In an age where corporate aviation needs to justify itself to shareholders and taxpayers alike,” conditioned Alex Wilcox, CEO of JetSuite, “the focus on value has never been higher and the Phenom 100 reduces the cost of most missions by 70 percent or more, depending on the jet it is replacing. This extremely efficient and comfortable jet is arriving on the market at just the right time.”

JetSuite plans to launch charter operations from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas starting with a fleet of seven jets for the year. The company will be adding two jets per month to widen service in the Western region of the US, Alaska, as well as Canada and Mexico.

“We’re excited to provide the first private party Phenom delivery to the U.S.,” said Brian Coulter, VP Flight Operations for JetSuite. “Working together with our suppliers and the multitude of export, transit and import authorities, our team delivered our customer’s jet from Brazil to the U.S. in just over 54 hours, without a hitch.”
