Aircraft will serve the President of the Republic

São José dos Campos, June 2, 2008 –
Embraer signed a contract, today, for the sale of two EMBRAER 190 jets to the
Brazilian government for transporting official personnel. The aircraft will be
configured specifically for this purpose and will be operated by the Special
Transportation Group (Grupo de Transporte Especial – GTE) of the Brazilian Air Force
(Força Aérea Brasileira – FAB), which serves the President of the Republic, Ministries,
Presidential Departments, and officials from the Legislative and Judiciary Branches.

“It will be an honor and a source of pride for all of Embraer’s employees to see our
EMBRAER 190 flying in the colors of the Federal Republic of Brazil,” states Embraer’s
President and CEO, Frederico Fleury Curado. “We are certain that the attributes that have
provided the underpinnings of the success of this aircraft model, worldwide – comfort, safety,
performance, advanced technology, and economical operations – will contribute to the
excellence of the GTE’s operations, as it fulfills its mission within the scope of the Brazilian
Air Force and the Brazilian government.”
The aircraft will be configured with special communications systems, providing maximum
security levels, as well as a private area for the President, including space for meetings. It will
also have a capacity for carrying around 40 passengers with a range, from Brasília, that covers
all of South America, thus offering great operational flexibility for its designated missions.
“Embraer is a worldwide benchmark for the aeronautical industry, and the purchase of these
new aircraft is in harmony with the objectives of the Nation’s industrial development
policies,” said Aeronautics Commander, General Juniti Saito.
