Portuguese operator Valair has added a Phenom 100 to its fleet, based in Geneva. Following on from last year's CJ3 delivery to its base in Cascais near Lisbon, the Phenom will engage in missions around the Paris-Geneva-Nice triangle.

“This is one of the most challenging areas to operate in Europe, but the Phenom comes in response to consistent customer demand,” says sales manager Nuno Gomes da Silva. “The leanest aircraft will fly point-to-point all year round and will provide a fantastic service to our central European clients.”

Valair now has six aircraft in its fleet: two Phenom 100s, two CJ3s, a Falcon 900 and a Global Express. Both CJ3 are positioned in Cascais and frequently operate to north Africa.
