Historic landmark is set by a Legacy 600 executive jet
São José dos Campos, June 2, 2009 – Embraer delivered the 1,100th aircraft of the ERJ 145 jet
family, last week, in São José dos Campos, Brazil. The airplane is a Legacy 600 executive jet, a
model which has reached over 160 deliveries to 25 countries, since entering service in 2002.
Based on the bestselling platform of the ERJ 145 regional jet, with nearly 900 jets delivered
to airlines, worldwide, since 1996, the Legacy 600 has become increasingly popular with
private owners, charter operators, corporations, and governments. The Legacy 600 shares
important qualities with the regional jet platform, including low fuel consumption, reduced
operating costs, ease of maintenance, and outstanding reliability. It is customized for the
needs of the executive aviation market, with a range of 3,400 nautical miles, or 6,297 km, topquality
interior finishing, three distinct cabin zones, excellent comfort, and global assistance
at dedicated executive jet service centers.
“This moment is especially gratifying, in that the 1,100th ERJ 145 family aircraft is a Legacy 600,
which has experienced strong acceptance in the executive aviation market,” said Frederico
Fleury Curado, Embraer President and CEO. “We congratulate the thousands of Embraer
employees who have contributed to the success of the ERJ 145 program.”
The aircraft will be managed on behalf of its
owner by London Executive Aviation
(LEA), one of Europe’s leading business air
charter operators. Award-winning LEA
operates a diverse fleet of 25 executive
aircraft from seven bases in the United
Kingdom. The company has extensive
experience in operating the Legacy 600, and
the new aircraft will join two others
presently in the LEA fleet.
According to Patrick Margetson-Rushmore, Chief Executive of LEA, “our experience with
the Legacy 600 has been extremely positive. The aircraft is very well suited to the European
market, and Embraer has delivered consistently excellent dispatch reliability and service. We
have no doubt that this new airplane will perform very well for its owner, our charter
customers, and ourselves as the operator.”
