Embraer Phenom 300 into Europe

FlairJet, based at Oxford Airport, has become the first European operator to introduce the Embraer Phenom 300.  Two aircraft, G-MGNE and G-GEIR arrived over the holiday period joining three of the smaller Phenom 100s which arrived during 2010.

There is little doubt that the Phenom series has established new standards of comfort and performance in the light jet category.  There is a saying that if it looks right it flies right and certainly the aircraft looks right.  The Phenom 300 is one of the fastest aircraft in the category, reaching 521 mph (839 km/h or 453 knots) and can fly at an altitude of up to 45,000 feet (13,716 meters).  Its range of 1,971 nautical miles (3,650 km) including fuel reserves, means the aircraft is capable of flying non-stop from Oxford to Athens, Moscow, Palma or Rome. www.flair-jet.com
