Embraer's Phenom 100 passed a key milestone less than has years after entering service, passing the 100,000 flight hour mark as a fleet. Embraer has delivered 240 Phenom 100 light jets since the first of the type entered service in December 2008. The first US-built Phenom 100 was delivered three years later. "This is a significant milestone achieved in such a short time," says Luciano Castro, Embraer vice-president of executive jet programmes.

US investigators probing the in-flight opening of an Embraer EMB-545’s passenger door have determined that a corroded and jammed door sensor falsely indicated to the crew that it was locked prior to departure.
Gulfstream has still not said when it expects to deliver the first of its recently certificated G700 long-range business jets, but the company has received additional certifications that bring the milestone closer.
Rolls-Royce has kicked off the flight-test campaign for the new Pearl 10X business jet engine that will power Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 10X flagship.
