Embraer Shows Off Praetor 600, Phenom 300E In Geneva
The models are particularly suited for jetting around Europe.
Embraer recently showcased the super-midsize Praetor 600 and Phenom 300E light jet at the EBACE convention in Geneva. It said it specifically brought these aircraft to the show since they are well suited for European operators.
Carvalhal said that the company decided to highlight the Praetor 600’s versatility for the European market at the show. “The Praetor 600 has a range of about nine hours that is perfect for the European scenario, connecting London to New York [and] London to Dubai, which are very important city pairs for the region,” he said.
In regard to speculation that Embraer may develop a larger aircraft in the future, Carvalhal was coy on specifics. “Embraer historically always is trying to find new ways of disrupting new segments, finding new business opportunities. We actively study all opportunities in the market, be it above what we do, be it under what we do, in terms of aircraft size. But at this moment, we have no announcements to make.”
