Aircraft will be operated by Republic Airlines

São José dos Campos, June 5, 2008 – Embraer delivered the 400th E-Jet, today, in a ceremony held at the Company’s headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. The aircraft, an EMBRAER 175, was ordered by U.S.-based Republic Airlines, a subsidiary of Republic
Airways Holdings. The jet is configured with a single-class interior, comfortably seating up to 86 passengers. This historic event comes a little over seven months after the 300th E-Jet was delivered, in October 2007. “The delivery of the 400th E-Jet confirms the outstanding worldwide reception given to this aircraft family, and we are proud that it is going to our good friends at Republic Airways Holdings,” said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President and CEO. “Our drive for customer satisfaction and the cutting-edge design and performance of our products have repeatedly brought airlines back to increase their orders and convert their options, in eloquent testimony that Embraer is on the right track.”
The Company’s relationship with Republic dates back to 1999, when Chautauqua Airlines,
also a subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, took delivery of its first ERJ 145 for US
Airways Express operations.
Republic Airways is the largest E-Jets operator in the world with 110 aircraft – 76 EMBRAER
170s and 34 EMBRAER 175s – under the colors of US Airways Express, United Express and
Delta Connection. Chautauqua Airlines also operates the three models of the ERJ 145 family –
the ERJ 135, the ERJ 140 and the ERJ 145 – totaling 90 aircraft, under the colors of Delta
Connection, United Express, Continental Express and US Airways Express.
“We are thrilled to accept delivery of the 400th Embraer E-Jet from our good friends in São
José dos Campos. This is a wonderful milestone for Embraer and for Republic. The E-Jets
family has helped our company compete successfully in a very challenging environment over
the past four years. This delivery represents the 111th E-Jet flying at Republic and will join
our fleet of 90 ERJ 145 family aircraft,” said Bryan Bedford Chairman, President and CEO
of Republic Airways Holdings, parent of Chautauqua Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle
America. “The E-Jets continue to receive high praise from our customers for their large and

comfortable cabin, which allows Republic to give our partners a seamless product
experience consistent with their mainline, narrowbody offerings.”
Although the E-Jets family has proven to be a highly versatile tool for the world’s regional
airline carriers, the aircraft are also flexible enough for mainline companies to fly them in
premium markets. Low-cost carriers have also been successful in operating the E-Jets
worldwide. Through March 31, 2008, the EMBRAER 170/190 family of E-Jets had logged
sales of 835 firm orders and 840 options from more than 45 customers in 28 countries,
surpassing 1.4 million flight hours.
