Services for the Legacy 600 and Phenom jets now extended to the Lineage 1000
São José dos Campos, June 3, 2009 – Embraer reinforced its partnership with Falcon
Aviation Services (FAS), of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), by signing an
agreement to extend its maintenance capabilities to the ultra-large Lineage 1000 executive jet.
FAS became an Embraer Authorized Service Center in the Middle East, in November 2008,
taking responsibility for the entry level Phenom 100, light Phenom 300, and super midsize
Legacy 600 executive jets.
“It’s a great pleasure to strengthen our
relationship with FAS in support of the
Lineage 1000. The move follows the first
Lineage 1000 delivery to a customer in Abu
Dhabi, last May,” said Antonio Martini,
Embraer Vice President, Customer Support
and Services – Europe, Africa and the Middle
East – Executive Jets. “We have found FAS,
which is also an Embraer executive jet
operator, to be a partner for providing highquality
maintenance services for our
customers in the Middle East.”

Falcon Aviation Services operates two Legacy 600s and is due to receive one more this year. The
company also has two Legacy 500 and four Phenom 300 jets on order, plus two Lineage 1000s.
FAS is currently building a new 8,000-square-meter jet maintenance facility at Bateen Airport, in
Abu Dhabi, which will be capable of accommodating up to three Lineage 1000s.
“We are very honored to sign this new agreement with Embraer,” said Philip Markham, CEO
of Falcon Aviation Services. “There is great potential for the Lineage 1000 in the region, and
that is why we are investing so much in our maintenance facilities in Abu Dhabi.”
