Praetor 500 jets in excess of US $5 billion
| · | The new agreement signifies NetJets commitment to creating
an enhanced customer experience and trust in Embraer’s industry-leading portfolio and customer support |
| · | With a partnership spanning more than a decade, NetJets
has taken delivery of nearly 120 total aircraft since it first signed an order with Embraer in 2010 |
Melbourne, Florida, May 11, 2023 – To
continue providing reliable global access and exceptional service to current NetJets Owners and their guests, NetJets has signed a new
deal with Embraer for up to 250 Praetor 500 jet options, which includes a comprehensive services and support agreement. The deal is valued
in excess of US $5 billion, with deliveries expected to begin in 2025, and will be NetJets’ first time offering the midsize Praetor
500 to customers. For over a decade, NetJets has operated Embraer’s Phenom 300 series—one of NetJets’ most requested
aircraft.
The partnership between Embraer and NetJets began
in 2010 when NetJets first signed a purchase agreement for 50 Phenom 300 aircraft, with up to 75 additional options. In 2021, after Embraer
successfully delivered over 100 aircraft, the companies signed a continuing deal for up to 100 additional Phenom 300/E jets, in excess
of $1.2 billion.
With this new agreement, NetJets signifies not only
its commitment to creating an enhanced customer experience as the company is averaging over 1,200 worldwide flights per day but also its
trust in Embraer’s industry-leading portfolio and top-ranked support to deliver the ultimate experience to NetJets customers.
“Since 2010, Embraer has enjoyed NetJets’
ongoing commitment to our industry-leading aircraft, which is a true testament to the value of our brand and our ability to deliver the
ultimate experience in business aviation,” said Michael Amalfitano, President and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “Our strategic
partnership has been an integral part of our business growth, with NetJets taking all aircraft delivery options that have been ordered
with Embraer since inception. After building this successful foundation with the Phenom 300 series, it’s our pleasure to have now
signed this monumental deal for the Praetor 500 midsize jet, and we look forward to an even more exciting future ahead.”
“We are eager to add the Embraer Praetor 500,
one of today’s most state-of-the-art business jets, to our midsize fleet,” said Doug Henneberry, Executive Vice President
of NetJets Aircraft Asset Management. “This historic fleet agreement is another way that we are growing our fleet for the benefit
of our loyal customers. By adding up to 250 aircraft to our fleet, we will continue providing NetJets Owners with exceptional service
and seamless access to all corners of the globe.”
The Praetor 500 is the world’s most disruptive
and technologically advanced midsize business jet, boasting an impressive best-in-class range—enabling U.S. coast-to-coast capability—industry-leading
speed, and unparalleled runway performance. In terms of technology, it’s the only aircraft in its category with full fly-by-wire
flight controls.
Not only does the Praetor 500 offer exceptional performance
but it also offers one of the most comfortable cabin experiences. It features the lowest cabin altitude in its class, as well as the tallest
and widest cross section in the segment. Additionally, it offers a flat-floor cabin, stone flooring, a vacuum lavatory, and ample baggage
space, including a fully enclosed internal baggage compartment.
