Aircraft will have its first public exhibition at EBACE 2009, next week
São José dos Campos, May 8, 2009 – Embraer delivered the first Lineage 1000 executive jet,
yesterday, in São José dos Campos, Brazil, to HE Aamer Abdul Jalil Al Fahim, of Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates. The aircraft, to be managed on behalf of the owner by Prestige Jet, also
of Abu Dhabi, will have its first public exhibition at the European Business Aviation
Convention and Exhibition (EBACE), May 12-14, in Geneva, Switzerland.
“We are honored by Mr. Al Fahim’s choice of the Lineage 1000 and to be able to work with
Prestige Jet in the introduction of this new, exciting ultra-large business jet program,” said
Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President & CEO. “The Lineage 1000 offers fantastic
comfort and performance attributes, exceeding all of its original design assumptions and
fostering its great market potential.”

The maximum range of the Lineage 1000,
originally projected to be 4,200 nautical
miles (7,778 km or 4,833 miles) with eight
passengers, or 4,350 nautical miles (8,056
km or 5,005 miles) with four passengers, has
been extended to 4,400 nautical miles (8,149
km or 5,063 miles) with eight passengers, or
4,500 nautical miles (8,344 km or 5,179
miles) with four passengers, both with
NBAA IFR reserves.
“I am certain that this Lineage 1000 aircraft will play an integral role in the future success
and progress of our business, on all of its fronts,” said HE Aamer Abdul Jalil Al Fahim, the
founder and the Chairman of Ark Angel Investments.
In Embraer’s portfolio of six executive jets, the Lineage 1000 is the largest aircraft. The
airplane was launched three years ago, at EBACE. The Company showed a full-scale crosssection
of the jet cabin at EBACE 2008, and now the jet, itself, will debut at the event.
