COLUMBUS, Ohio--()--Starting today, one of the key new additions to the NetJets® fleet, the Embraer Phenom 300 NetJets Signature Series, will be traveling across America over the next month to enable existing and prospective customers to see the new aircraft firsthand. In October of 2010, NetJets placed an order for up to 125 Embraer Phenom 300s (50 firm and 75 options). These state-of-the-art aircraft will enter the NetJets fleet in early 2013.
“We’re debuting the aircraft in key markets across the U.S. to personally introduce it to members of the NetJets family and prospective customers”
The Embraer Phenom 300 NetJets Signature Series aircraft were designed exclusively for NetJets and will feature technology and features ideally suited to the needs of NetJets customers.
The Embraer Phenom 300 is a model in the new NetJets Signature Series of aircraft. The NetJets Signature Series of aircraft is part of NetJets’ 10-year fleet plan, which includes continuous renewal of NetJets’ current fleet of more than 700 aircraft. The Signature Series aircraft are the first that NetJets helped design from start to finish. These aircraft are bigger, faster, quieter, and offer longer range than similar aircraft of the previous generation. The purchases provide options to expand the capabilities of NetJets’ North American fleet. These aircraft will deliver technological features to ensure maximum safety, reliability and comfort, including advanced in-flight entertainment systems, quiet cabins, and customized seating, lighting, and storage features.
