Flexjet is launching a tour with eight stops in six states in the U.S. to showcase its Embraer Praetor 600. The tour comes as the fractional ownership provider expands its midsize/super-midsize fleet.
In the midsize and super-midsize space, Flexjet offers shares in both the Praetor 500 and 600, in addition to the Bombardier Challenger 350/3500. By year-end, the fractional provider expects to have 177 aircraft in the mid/super-mid category as part of a total fleet size that tops 300.
Kicking off in St. Louis, the tour headed to Chicago and Washington, D.C. From October 8 through 17, the 4,018-nm, 466-knot aircraft will travel to both coasts, swinging through San Francisco, San Jose, Van Nuys, and Los Angeles in California before heading to White Plains, New York, and Teterboro, New Jersey.
While on tour, Flexjet is highlighting the nine-passenger aircraft’s features such as anti-turbulence technology, fly-by-wire controls, and baggage capacity of up to 16 pieces of luggage that is accessible in flight. Other features Flexjet is promoting are the LXi Cabin Collection of interiors, noise suppression, and entertainment systems.
"When we added this super-midsize jet to our ultra-modern fleet, we knew we were providing our aircraft owners with a unique opportunity to level up their travel experience in this category," said Flexjet executive v-p of sales D.J. Hanlon.
