Canadian fractional provider AirSprint signed a purchase agreement yesterday for two Embraer Legacy 450s and options for 10 more worth a potential $198 million. The announcement was made at the opening of the Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) Convention and Exhibition, a two-day event hosted at Million Air’s FBO facility at Calgary International Airport.

Deliveries of the fly-by-wire midsize jets to AirSprint will begin as soon as the aircraft receives Transport Canada type certification, expected in the fourth quarter. Options converted into firm orders could be delivered in the first quarter of next year, Embraer Executive Jets said.

“The Legacy 450 is an important addition as we expand and evolve our fleet of aircraft,” said AirSprint president and CEO James Elian. ”With the addition this fall of the Legacy 450, we will be able to enhance our customers’ experience by providing faster, non-stop access to further-away destinations.”
