Embraer Phenom makes history and becomes the most flown jet in the US

Embraer broke a new record on American soil, now with the leadership in number of flights in executive aviation in the USA. The Brazilian manufacturer is already a leader in the light jet segment with the Phenom 100 and 300 aircraft line, which are assembled exclusively in Melbourne, Florida, the manufacturer’s main unit in Yankee territory. And now its light medium jet, the Phenom 300, has surpassed Cessna’s Citation Excel, the most traditional manufacturer of private planes in the world. The Cessna jet had been in that position for many years because it was extremely popular in its home country and had a low acquisition cost. A survey carried out by Bloomberg points out that 360,000 takeoffs and landings were made from January to the end of July, 1,400 more than the Excel, which despite being a larger aircraft, has the same range and capacity as the Phenom 300, which is more modern and consumes less. And the Phenom 300’s main niche in the US has been air taxis and aircraft sharing, which has a high utilization rate. As the jet can reach anywhere in the continental US with just one stop and carry up to 9 passengers, it turns out to be a great attraction for more casual business aviation users. – https://aeroin.net/e-do-brasil-embraer-phenom-entra-para-a-historia-e-se-torna-o-jatinho-mais-voado-dos-eua/
