ABS Jets has added a Phenom 300 to its managed fleet, the first of its type to be registered in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The aircraft may be made available for charter later in the year.

"We are very excited about the new opportunities the Phenom 300 will offer both ABS Jets and our clients," says ceo Vladimir Petak. "The addition is proof of increased demand we are seeing for our services in the CEE region. We believe the Phenom 300 will meet and exceed the expectations of our passengers. It also fulfils our expansionary plan pledge to enlarge our fleet every year. It is an excellent way to start 2012."

ABS Jets is the Embraer sales representative for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the latter part of 2011 the company held a series of Embraer aircraft presentation days resulting in heightened interest.
