Embraer has signed a new purchase agreement with Air Hamburg for four more Legacy 650E business jets. The agreement was announced on the opening day of the 18th European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland.
With this additional order, the Germany-based business charter operator, which serves European, Russian and Middle East destinations, will expand its Embraer flagship fleet to 17 aircraft (15 Legacy 600/650 and two Phenom 300). Air Hamburg is the world’s largest operator of the Legacy 600/650 aircraft models. The delivery of these aircraft is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2018 and continue at a rate of one per quarter through the first quarter of 2019. The contract has a value of US$103.6 million, based on current list prices and will be included in the Company’s 2018 second-quarter backlog.
Furthermore Embraer has signed a purchase agreement with Centreline, for a pre-owned Legacy 500. UK-based Centreline is a full-service private jet company, which already operates two Legacy 500s. Delivery of this additional order is scheduled for August 2018.
