TAM Aviação Executiva (São Paulo Congonhas) has taken delivery of its first Embraer Executive Jets Praetor 500 for non-commercial operations, as revealed by ch-aviation research.
PS-WMA (msn 55010134) is a brand-new aircraft certified to carry up to nine passengers but is not authorised for commercial air taxi operations. It underwent modification at one of Embraer Business Jets' facilities in Melbourne, FL, before being delivered to TAM Aviação Executiva at Fortaleza International via Bridgetown, on September 8.
It remains parked at Fortaleza, operating test flights, and has yet to be added to the carrier's operations specifications.
TAM Aviação Executiva also operates one Cessna Aircraft Company Citation XLS, one Hawker Beechcraft 400XP, and one King Air B200GT, all in commercial service, along with one Embraer Phenom 300, which is not authorised for commercial operations, and a fleet of helicopters.
