12/12/2023

Press releaseIssued by Epic Aircraft.

Epic Aircraft announced today that the E1000 GX has received type certificate approval from the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) of Brazil. The certification exemplifies the continued success of the award-winning E1000 GX, which received type certificate approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2021.

"Over the last four months, Epic Aircraft has worked closely with the Brazilian regulators to achieve ANAC certification of the E1000 GX," said Doug King, CEO of Epic Aircraft, LLC. "This is a huge accomplishment in such a short time.”

Epic Aircraft announced in August that the manufacturer had entered a long-term partnership with Avantto, one of the largest operators in the private aviation market in Latin America and a leading company in fractional ownership of jets and helicopters. Avantto has placed an order for 34 planes for the fractional program, with deliveries spanning five years. The first two E1000 GXs are scheduled to be delivered by the end of the month.

"We want to thank the FAA and ANAC for all their hard work," King added. “We are excited to launch our sales in Brazil and join Avantto in providing top-notch aviation solutions to the Latin American market.”
