Flexjet takes delivery of first Embraer Legacy 450 aircraft

Flexjet accepted its first Legacy 450 midsized business jet from Embraer. Flexjet becomes the first fractional fleet provider to take delivery of the Legacy 450, which the FAA certified in August 2015. Additional deliveries of the Legacy 450 are scheduled for later this year, with a total of five expected to be in the Flexjet fleet by the end of 2016. A recent FAA-approved range extension gives the Legacy 450 an outstanding range of up to 3,337 statute miles, sufficient for nonstop travel between all city pairs within the continental United States as well as such distant city-pairs as Los Angeles-Honolulu, New York-San Francisco and New York-Dublin, Ireland.
