NetJets Europe announced at the show today that the first Embraer Phenom 300 business jet will be added to its fleet in early 2014.

This aircraft forms part of an order signed in 2010 for up to 125 of the seven-seat business jets, and will form the backbone of the fractional ownership company's light cabin offering.

NetJets' US-based sister company took delivery of its first Phenom 300 earlier this month.

NetJets' Phenom 300s are fitted with a bespoke interior called the Signature Series. It features advanced in-flight entertainment and a custom cabin design, including specially selected fabrics and materials along with customised seating, lighting and storage. The NetJets' Phenom also features Embraer's Prodigy Touch flightdeck - based on the Garmin G3000 platform.

"We are delighted that NetJets Europe will be receiving the Signature Series Phenom 300 aircraft," says NetJets Europe president Mark Wilson on the impending handover. "The high-performance aircraft is ideally suited to our European customers for safety, reliability, interior comfort and operating efficiency. It will expand on the unparalleled offering and capabilities of the NetJets Europe fleet."

The aircraft has a range of 1,470nm (2,720km), connecting London to Istanbul, Helsinki and Bucharest, says NetJets.
