Missouri-based fractional ownership company receives first of 50 Phenom jets

(Sao Jose dos Campos, April 15, 2009) -- Embraer delivered Executive AirShare's first Phenom 100 jet, in early April. The fractional aircraft ownership company based in Kansas City, Missouri, U.S., is the first fleet customer to receive a Phenom jet, out of a total firm order for 44 Phenom 100s and six Phenom 300s.


"We congratulate Executive AirShare on the first of many Phenom jets to be delivered in the coming months and years," said Ernest Edwards, Embraer Vice President, Marketing and Sales, USA, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean - Executive Jets. "We are committed to a long-standing relationship with Executive AirShare, and look forward to working together as they enter service with their Phenom fleet."

In May 2007, Executive AirShare placed their initial order for seven Phenom 100s, with options for seven more. The order was expanded in September of the same year to include two Phenom 300s and options for two more jets. In October 2008, the order was further expanded, and currently is comprised of 50 firm orders for both Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 aircraft.

"We are most impressed with Embraer's modern, state-of-the-art facilities, and team of dedicated professionals," said Keith D. Plumb, Executive AirShare President and Chief Operating Officer. "The Phenom 100 is one of the finest aircraft I've flown, and our employees and shareowners are excited about the addition of this new entry level jet to our fleet."
