Embraer Private Jets
I have been in aircraft sales for over 5 years and I must say that Embraer are truly a rising star. They build exceptional aircraft, in particular the Phenom 300 and Legacy 500. Unfortunately their experiment at taking on the BBJ/ACJ market with the Lineage 1000 has failed. The biggest problem with the Lineage is not only the noisy cockpit but also the short range. However, the trend recently is that private jet buyers are moving away from the BBJ/ACJ jets and buying Global 6000s, Falcon 7Xs and G550s. The technology, performance and lower cabin altitude in these smaller jets is what is driving people away from the airliners convereted into private jets.
