Embraer delivered the first Phenom 100 jet, yesterday, at its Headquarters, in São José dos Campos, Brazil, to Pakistan’s Air Force. The Pakistan government has acquired four of this aircraft model, which will be used to transport government officials of that country. This transaction is already included in Embraer’s fourth quarter firm order backlog. “Embraer is honored to enjoy the confidence of Pakistan’s Government for operating our products,” said Orlando José Ferreira Neto, Embraer Executive Vice President, Defense and Government Market.
“The Phenom 100 is an excellent aircraft that meets a broad range of transportation demands and, with the way opened by the Pakistan Air Force on the international market, we are seeing a growing interest in this model in several other regions.” This is the first Embraer aircraft delivered to a customer in Pakistan, and it is also the first Phenom 100 to be operated by a government. The country’s Air Force chose this model after carrying out a detailed analysis of such aspects as performance, comfort, technology, acquisition price, and operating costs, among others.
The Phenom 100 jet can accommodate up to eight occupants. Its range of 1,178 nautical miles (2,182 km), including NBAA IFR fuel reserves, means the aircraft is capable of flying nonstop from Islamabad (Pakistan) to Karachi (Pakistan) or Katmandu (Nepal), from New York to Miami, in the U.S., or from London to Rome, in Europe. The jet was certified in December 2008, and proved to be the fastest and to have the largest baggage capacity in its category. The Phenom 100 has the latest in cockpit design and a private aft lavatory as one of its most competitive features.

This is the first time I ever heard that Pakistan and Brazil are involved in some clandestine Nuclear and missile technology exchanges. Yes, Brazil did supplied Anti Radiation missiles to PAF but there is nothing clandestine about that contract, it was announces openly. If you are taking this as indication of clandestine cooperation then majority of UN members including India are engaged in this activity as they too are involved in sale and purchase of AAM /ARM /ASM etc.
Your comment has been deleted because of simple rule of this blog i.e. no offensive language or word for any nation
And how you would explain the use of 100 to 150 seater 737 use to transport two to six personals from one PAF base to another? it would be far more economical for the PAF to use these planes which are cheap to by and fly then using PIA 737s.I assume that you are good enough to understand that not all the times PAF&PA and sometimes civilian high officials need to immediately move from point A to point B lets say from sargodha air base to shorkot air base where there will be No PIA flight or the from Islamabad to Lahore or Karachi immediately, so they can’t be waiting for hours for the flight to arrive due to the very nature of their jobs which are time sensitive ones. Another problem would be the security of these personalities. So to me, it is a very good choice by the PAF.
i hop that you do remember the fokker crash in which Air Chief Musaf Ali Meer and top Pakistan Air Force (PAF) officers, who were worth…………. billions due to their experience and money spend by Pakistan on them.
It would be more economical when they would use the Chinese transport plane Y-12 ! half price and cost of that what they have buy from brazil believe me........or search by google.de ;)
peace man !
Pakistan Zindabad !
As I have said earlier that when selecting a air plane for VIP use cost is not the first priority, aircraft have to meet the requirements of the force and in PAF case super slow, short- range and old design like Y-12 simply did not meet the requirements.Y-12 simply belongs to a different category.
Pakistani leades should travel sheduled PIA flights,mercy to the nation.
