Embraer delivered 57 jets during the third quarter of 2009 (3Q09), 29 of which to the commercial aviation segment, 27 to executive aviation, and one to defense, representing an increase of 18.8% over the 48 jets delivered during the same period in 2008. So far, in 2009, Embraer has delivered 153 jets. On September 30, 2009, the Company’s firm order backlog totaled US$ 18.6 billion, or 6% less than the US$ 19.8 billion recorded on June 30, 2009.
In the airline segment, the family of Embraer aircraft operators welcomed British Airways, from the United Kingdom, with the EMBRAER 170; Mozambique Airlines (LAM), with the EMBRAER 190; and Lufthansa CityLine, from Germany, with the EMBRAER 195, thus increasing the family of operators to 49 in 34 countries. The 600th aircraft of the EMBRAER 170/190 E-Jets family was delivered to Lot Polish Airlines.
The highlight of executive aviation was the growth in the number of deliveries of the Phenom 100 jet, for the third quarter in a row: two in 4Q08, six in 1Q09, 13 in 2Q09, and 22 in 3Q09, for a total of 43 aircraft. The aircraft was also certified for operation in Australia and went into service in Brazil. The network of authorized service centers continues to grow, with the addition of Starlink, in Canada, and Inflite, in the United Kingdom.
In the defense area, Embraer delivered the first EMBRAER 190 jet to the Brazilian government. The aircraft is configured especially for the use of the President of the Republic and is operated by the Special Transportation Group (Grupo de Transporte Especial – GTE) of the Brazilian Air Force (Força Aérea Brasileira – FAB).

Those projections and estimates are based largely on current expectations, forecasts on future events and financial tendencies that affect Embraer’s businesses. Those estimates are subject to risks, uncertainties and suppositions that include, among others: general economic, political and trade conditions in Brazil and in those markets where Embraer does business; expectations on industry trends; the Company’s investment plans; its capacity to develop and deliver products on the dates previously agreed upon, and existing and future governmental regulations. The words “believe”, “may”, “is able”, “will be able”, “intend”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “expect” and other similar terms are supposed to identify potentialities. Embraer does not feel compelled to publish updates nor to revise any estimates due to new information, future events or any other facts.
