Now, the new Phenom 100EX delivers superior cabin comfort, operational versatility and pilot-centric avionics to offer the ultimate flying experience.

This programme is a perfect fit for CPI's Aerostructures Assembly & Integration Market Segment and builds on the experience and performance we have on the Phenom 300 series, having delivered over 1900 inlets to date.
