Editorial

Embraer delivered 17 aircraft in this year’s second quarter, consisting of four commercial aircraft and thirteen business jets.

As for the commercial aircraft, two E175s and two E190-E2s have been delivered. Among the business jets are two Phenom 100s, seven Phenom 300s, one Legacy 650, one Praetor 500 and two Praetor 600s.

Embraer also supplied the 1600th E-jet. This was to Helvetic Airways in Switzerland. The Swiss company also exchanged four E190-E2s that were still on order for the larger E195-E2. Congo Airways also changed an order; in December, the airline ordered two E175s, while Congo Airways now wants two E190-E2s instead. The agreement also includes an option to purchase two more aircraft.

Finally, Embraer supplied the first Phenom 300E. This was intended for law firm Dunham & Jones in Texas. The E stands for “enhanced” and means, among other things, that the aircraft is faster thanks to new engines. Furthermore, the aircraft has a greater flight range than its predecessor. The interior has also been addressed. The aircraft is now able to fly 2010 nautical miles (approximately 3723 kilometers) with five passengers at a cruising speed of 464 kts (about 859.33 kilometers per hour).
