EBACE Day 2: Our top 5 spots today

For Europe’s business aviation industry, EBACE is about discussion, networking and doing business. But for most people it’s all about the aircraft, and the static display at Geneva airport delivers an exciting visual showcase of private jets in one place.

Here are our top 5 spots today :

1 – Beechcraft King Air 
After 50 years of service it remains to be the most agile and reliable twin engine turboprop the charter market has ever seen. From the 6-seat C90, up to the 350GTX, the versatile king air can operate into the toughest terrains where no other aircraft is able to spin a wheel on.

2 – Embraer 500
After emerging into the private jet market with the Legacy 600 aircraft in 2002, 12 years later Embraer are now armed with a complete fleet of aircraft, ranging from the Light Jet Phenom 100 to the Lineage 1000 corporate airliner. Embraer recently announced the Legacy 450 and the Legacy 500 which attended the show, tackling the highly competitive mid-size market.

3 – Gulfstream G650ER
Gulfstream have announced the G650ER at EBACE this year. What are the internal & external differences? Almost nothing! The Gulfstream G650 has been under going flight testing continuously since it’s first flight. Recent tests have uncovered far more performance than the aircraft was ever originally designed for. To turbocharge performance, Gulfstream have placed larger fuel tanks in the wings, enabling the G650ER to fly further and faster than any long range jet in the charter market.

4 – Cessna Citation Sovereign
The Sovereign packs a heavy punch in the mid-size jet category. With a seating capacity of 8-10 passengers and a luggage capacity the size of a small kitchen, the Cessna Citation 680 Sovereign is a popular aircraft in many corners of the globe. Cessna have recently updated the Sovereign by adding blended winglets to improve handling and performance.

5 – Bombardier Learjet 75
Based upon the Learjet 45 aircraft, the Learjet 75 features Bombardier’s latest and greatest technology. Featuring completely redesigned blended winglets. Bombardier’s Learjet 75 is on display at EBACE sporting Bombardier’s new house colours and looked absolutely stunning against the clear blue sky.
