Phenom 100 VLJ Price Rises

0

If youre waffling on which very light jet suits you best, Embraer has 130,000 reasons for you to make up your mind by July 1. Thats when the price of its Phenom 100 four-passenger (six-place) jet will go from $2.85 million to $2.98 million (January 2005 dollars). That puts the actual outlay for the Brazilian VLJ a touch over $3 million. The news release announcing the price hike did not explain the reason, though the company did say it has a combined total of 400 orders for the Phenom 100 and its larger stablemate, the Phenom 300. The first Phenom 100 is in final assembly at Embraers main plant in So Jos dos Campos, Brazil. Customer deliveries are expected in about a year. The aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F engines and the flight deck features the Garmin G1000 integrated avionics system. The Phenom 300 will follow the 100 into production in 2009. It will seat six passengers.
