Charter Embraer Embraer 120ER

The Embraer 120ER is a twin-turboprop regional airliner produced by Embraer in Brazil. While primarily designed for commuter airline service, its size and capabilities can make it suitable for certain charter operations, particularly for larger groups. It's important to note that it's not typically considered a "corporate jet" in the same vein as smaller, executive-focused aircraft.  

Here's an overview of the Embraer 120ER:

Embraer 120ER with JETVIP:

Given its capacity, the Embraer 120ER might be considered for charter by JETVIP clients in specific scenarios:

• Large Group Travel: For transporting sizable groups where a typical business jet would be too small. This could include corporate shuttles, sports teams, or large family gatherings.
• Regional Charter: For flights within its range capabilities, especially to destinations that might not be well-served by commercial airlines or where a dedicated aircraft for a large group is preferred.

Acquisition:

Acquiring an Embraer 120ER is less common for typical private jet owners and more likely for regional airlines or charter companies specializing in larger group transport. JETVIP could potentially assist clients interested in this type of aircraft through their network, but it falls outside the typical spectrum of executive jet acquisitions.

Considerations:

• Cabin Configuration: The standard Embraer 120ER is configured for airline-style seating. VIP conversions exist but are less common and would significantly impact the aircraft's price and availability.
• Operating Costs: Operating costs for a turboprop of this size will differ from those of smaller business jets.
• Speed and Comfort: While offering ample space, the turboprop nature means lower cruise speeds and potentially a different cabin environment compared to jet aircraft.

If you have a specific need for chartering or acquiring an Embraer 120ER, it's best to contact JETVIP directly to discuss your requirements. Their team can provide insights into availability and suitability based on your particular travel needs and preferences.
