Fly FIVE Introducing the NEXT LEVEL in aviation by FIVE HOTELS AND RESORTS

Chris Moore, SD President, said: “The results of our flight testing have been outstanding and we are now close to securing type approval for its use on Inmarsat’s global Ka-band satellite network, no easy feat in what is a very stringent process. We are excited to offer our customers the new JX Evolution plans, which will be supported by our Plane Simple Ka-band antenna, and are confident that strong demand will further strengthen our position as the leading service provider of Inmarsat’s ultra-high-speed business aviation services.” Kai Tang, Head of Business Aviation, Inmarsat, added: “Inmarsat’s Jet ConneX was first launched six years ago. In this time has earned its reputation as the gold standard for business aviation inflight broadband. However, as passenger expectations around connectivity evolve, it is imperative that we stay one step ahead, working side-by-side with important and trusted partners like Satcom Direct.

“Our relationship with SD works so well because we share an unwavering commitment to delight our customers and meet their connectivity needs for years to come. These latest service plans are a prime example of how we are raising the bar by combining the power of SD’s Plane Simple Ka-band Antenna System and our fast-growing global satellite network, with seven more payloads entering service by 2025.”

Embraer Phenom Very Light & Light Jets

The Jet family that transformed Embraer into a major Business Aviation player

The PhenomJets family was the first true purpose-built clean-sheet business jetsfamily introduced by Embraer in 2008, how did this family contribute to shaping Embraer Executive Jets offering?

When we announced in 2005 that we were embarking on the development of a new-generation of very light and light business jet family, we knew we had a tremendous opportunity. Our goal was to bring forth innovative solutions that would redefine the standard for both performance and comfort and offer advanced technologies, from the flight deck to the cabin, that previously were found only on much larger, more expensive jets avionics on the Phenom 100EV consist of a more powerful avionics suite, offering even more processing power and enhanced resolution displays, as well as additional capabilities through constantly evolving software updates. As a result, Emergency Descent Mode, Graphical Weight and Balance, ADS-B In, Coupled Go-Around, TOLD, and PERF are just a few of the baseline features being delivered on the Phenom 100EV. Optional features include FAA Datacomm, Garmin Flight Charts, and IRF/VFR Enroute Charts.
