Phenom 100 Makes Its Brazilian Debut

The Phenom 100 executive jet ranks among Brazil’s most exciting exports, but it's also making an outstanding impression at home following the first deliveries of the new Embraer Executive Jet to Brazilian customers. Algar Aviation of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, has placed its Phenom 100 into charter service. Welborn Participações of Londrina, Paraná is using its new Phenom 100 for corporate transportation, as is Locar Guindastes e Transportes Intermodais from São Paulo.

"Embraer Executive Jets Customer Support has worked diligently to be ready for the Phenom 100's entry into service in the region and we are anxious to show our customers how we have prepared to support them," said Edson Carlos Mallaco, Vice President, Customer Support and Services, Executive Jets. During the past year, Embraer Executive Jets Customer Support has been training maintenance technicians, assisting the service centers in the region, allocating the necessary spare parts and training field service who are available to assist owners and Service Centers with the Phenom 100.

"We have made a commitment to match the quality of the product with the quality of our service," Mallaco noted. "We're extremely pleased to see how both the airplanes and the service providers are performing as the Phenom 100 fleet grows."

Certified in December of 2008, the Phenom 100 has surpassed expectations in actual service. There are more than 800 firm orders for the Phenom 100 and 300, a hundred of which are from customers in Latin America. Seventy percent of those are in Brazil.
