Embraer Executive Jets announced an order for a new entry-level business jet Phenom 100E from an undisclosed customer based in India. The aircraft will be managed by Titan Aviation Group, a global aviation specialty service provider headquartered in the United Arab Emirates.

Captain Sakeer Sheik, Managing Director of Titan Aviation Group and Claudio Camelier, Vice-President of Sales for Embraer Executive Jets in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East celebrated the deal at India Aviation, held in Hyderabad, India.

“The Phenom 100E has proven itself to be a very agile aircraft that is capable of taking off and landing on short runways, while fuel economy helps keep operating costs low,” said Claudio Camelier, Vice-President of Sales for Embraer Executive Jets in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. “We are grateful for the confidence the customer has placed in us and thank Titan Aviation for their unwavering support. This order takes the Embraer Executive Jets aircraft registered in India to 22, across six aircraft types.”

“Titan Aviation Group has been in the aircraft management business for 12 years providing differentiated services to our customers,” said Captain Sakeer Sheik, Managing Director of Titan Aviation Group. “Embraer Executive Jets’ broad portfolio of efficient aircraft and their solid customer support and services network allow us to assure the low operating costs, high dispatch reliability and superior operational readiness expected by our customers.”

Winner of various innovation and design awards, the Phenom 100E is best-in-class jet, having redefined the entry-level segment with the latest generation technology, a new style concept, premium comfort, performance and reliability. To date, over 330 Phenom 100 and 100E jets have been delivered for customers worldwide.

Recently, Titan Aviation Group started operating a new Embraer Legacy 650 large business jet under an aircraft management agreement with a customer in Middle East. The newly ordered Phenom 100E will be the fourth Embraer airplane managed by Titan Aviation when it is delivered later this year.
