Embraer
Embraer Phenom 300E

The 2-3 hour business triangle — fast turns, full bags, six colleagues, no compromises. Ask for the exact seating plan and baggage allowance.
Light jet charter
The right cabin for a smaller group.
The fastest way to skip the airline. Six to seven seats, three-hour legs, smaller airports the big iron can't touch. Lower hourly than midsize, quicker to dispatch, ideal for one-hop business trips and short-range family flights.
