Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer on Thursday said it has received an order for a new entry-level business jet Phenom 100E from an undisclosed customer based in India.
Embraer Executive Jets announced this during India Aviation 2016, India's largest aviation show currently underway here.
The aircraft, to be delivered later this year, will be managed by Titan Aviation Group, a global aviation specialty service provider headquartered in the United Arab Emirates.
Captain Sakeer Sheik, managing director of Titan Aviation Group and Claudio Camelier, Embraer Executive Jets' vice president, sales (Asia-Pacific and Middle East) announced the deal.
Currently, there are 28 Embraer jets in India under three different categories, executive, commercial and defense and security.
"The Phenom 100E has proven itself to be a very agile aircraft that is capable of taking off and landing on short runways, while fuel economy helps keep operating costs low," said Camelier.
