Embraer will exhibit the mock-up of its Phenom 300 light executive jet in Australia, for the first time. The chosen venues are Sydney, June 17-21, at Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf, and Melbourne, June 24-28, at BMW Kings Way Showroom.

A special media presentation will be made at each site, at 11:30 a.m., on June 17 and 24, respectively, by José Eduardo Costas, Embraer Vice President, Marketing and Sales, AsiaPacific – Executive Jets. "Australia presents transportation challenges that require quick and specific travel over continental-sized distances. The comfort, convenience and speed of the Phenom 300, with its leading-edge technology and systems, make it an ideal solution for this vast nation," says Costas.

The test fleet for the Phenom 300 is comprised of four aircraft: two fully instrumented, one equipped with basic interior and flight test instrumentation, and another with interior furnishings, which is used for function and reliability tests and will join the maturity campaign. So far, the entire fleet has performed over 600 hours of test flights. The certification is on schedule for conclusion in the second half of 2009, with first deliveries by the end of the year.
