“We’re proud to be working with Embraer, another of Brazil’s global success stories, as we develop our own charter operation with Placar Linhas Aéreas S.A. Arriving in style on Brazil’s most modern jet is a great way for any team to start the game day.”
President and CEO of Embraer, Francisco Gomes Neto commented on the transaction: “This deal matches two of Brazil’s world-leading areas of success – football and aviation.”
“Embraer staff are huge fans of the game and will be excited to see their footballing heroes flying on the company’s new E2 aircraft. The teams and charter guests will enjoy the unparalleled comfort, spacious cabin and minimal noise.”
“The fuel efficiency and short runway performance are an obvious choice for the start-up operator, offering an immediate option to serve regional airports, including those with shortened runways unable to handle large aircraft.”
“Embraer’s commercial jets play an essential role in enabling airlines to open, develop, and grow their networks profitably.”
