Jackie Chan uses Legacy 500 to beat Rush Hour

摘要

Embraer has delivered the first China-based Legacy 500 to brand ambassador Jackie Chan. The handover comes seven months after the midsize business jet secured Chinese certification and should help to raise awareness of the 10-seat, fly-by-wire aircraft in Asia. Guan Dongyuan, president of Embraer China, says the actor's selection of the Legacy 500 is a boost for the midsize sector and could mark a cultural shift for a country renowned for its preference for large-cabin, long-range business jets. "Chan's choice reflects a changing mindset among Chinese customers that midsize executive jets can fulfil their business missions," says Guan. Martial arts star Chan became the Chinese launch customer in 2012 for the large-cabin Legacy 650.
