Germany's Stuttgarter Flugdienst (SFD) is acquiring two Phenom 300s to diversify its Cessna-oriented fleet rather than opting for Mustangs. The order has been placed after the analysis of feedback from clients.

"The decision to order the Phenom 300s is based on the company's long experience in meeting the needs of the clients who want comfort and endurance," says md Andreas Mundsinger. "We are convinced by the above-average price/performance ratio that the two Phenoms 300s will fit perfectly with the existing Cessna-oriented fleet and will in the medium term replace one or two Cessna Citations," he adds.

The Phenoms will join another Embraer addition - the Legacy 600. "We made the Phenom 300 order knowing we had a reliable partner," says Mundsinger. "The Legacy 600 has been with us for over one year. The clients like its comfortable cabin, operational economy and endurance. Hundreds of clients are very happy with the aircraft."

The Phenom 300s, he says, will not only expand the current nine-strong fleet but enrich choice. "Passengers will have an even more diversified choice and together with the actual Citation fleet they can select between CJ2+ and Legacy 600 in the medical market segment."
