Event to be held in the city of Hyderabad, October 15 to 18
São José dos Campos, October 14, 2008 – Embraer is participating in India Aviation 2008
(www.india-aviation.in/main.htm), October 15 to 18, at Hyderabad’s airport, on Sadar Patel
highway, in India. During the event that is organized by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the
Indian Government, in conjunction with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce &
Industry, Embraer will promote its entire line of commercial and executive jets at stand B39.
“With the growth that has occurred in recent years, and its high potential, the Indian market
is very promising for Embraer’s products,” said Orlando José Ferreira Neto, Managing
Director – Embraer Asia Pacific (EAP). “In the commercial and executive aviation markets,
as well as the defense and government segment, we have been highly successful in India over
the last several years. When you add the market potential and Embraer’s good results, it is
easy to understand our optimism.”
In the commercial aviation market, Embraer E-Jets have been flying in the livery of
Paramount Airways, since October 2005. In 2009, the EMBRAER 170 jet will also join the
fleet of the recently formed Star Aviation, which has signed for seven of this aircraft model.
To transport its public officials, the Indian government has been using Legacy 600 jets, since
2005, and currently operates five aircraft, one by the Indian Air Force and other four by the
Border Security Force. At the end of 2007, Embraer signed a contract with India’s Invision
Projects for the sale of 20 jets from the Phenom family, which is the largest fleet order in the
country. Aviators India also has two firm orders for the same aircraft.
This year, Embraer announced the sale of three EMB 145 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning
& Control) jets to the Indian Government. The deal includes a broad logistical package
consisting of training, technical assistance, replacement parts, and ground support equipment.
The first delivery is scheduled for 2011.
