Flexjet Accepts Delivery of First Embraer Legacy 450 Aircraft



Flexjet accepted its first Legacy 450 midsized business jet from Embraer, becoming the first fractional fleet provider to take delivery of the Legacy 450, which the FAA certified in August 2015. Additional deliveries of the Legacy 450 are scheduled for later this year, with a total of five expected to be in the Flexjet fleet by the end of 2016.

“The Legacy 450 will become the mainstay of our midsized program, which has been growing rapidly in response to increased demand for aircraft of this size,” said Michael Silvestro, Flexjet’s CEO. “Not only does the Legacy 450 offer the capabilities and performance of larger aircraft, but fractional owners can access it at an investment level more commonly associated with much smaller aircraft. The addition of the Legacy 450 will allow us to dominate the midsized category.”

The Legacy 450 has digital flight controls based on Fly-by-Wire technology and is powered by a pair of Honeywell HTF7500E engines.

Flexjet first entered the fractional jet ownership market in 1995, and celebrated its 21st anniversary in May 2016. The company offers fractional jet ownership and leasing.
