Embraer will participate in the 2009 Dubai Air Show (DubaiAirShow.aero), November 15-19, at Dubai’s International Airport, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Company will promote its full line of commercial jets for the airline market, including the 37- to 50-seat ERJ 145 family and the EMBRAER 170/190 family of E-Jets, with 70 to 122 seats. The ultra-large Lineage 1000 and the super midsize Legacy 600 executive jets will be showcased at the static display area, as well as the entry level Phenom 100, which will make its debut in the Middle East.
Two press conferences will be held by Embraer during the event, both in Conference Room 4, on November 15. The first, dedicated to Embraer’s executive jets, will take place at 3:00 pm, and the second, focused on the commercial aviation, will start at 4:00 pm. Accredited members of the press are also welcome to visit the Company’s Chalet A6.
Embraer is the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial jets up to 120 seats, offering the traditional ERJ 145 family of regional jets, and the state-of-the-art EMBRAER 170/190 family of E-Jets. They provide regional, network, and low-cost carriers with great flexibility, as well as low fuel burn, low emissions, and compelling economics, worldwide. Nearly 900 ERJ 145 family regional jets are in operation, worldwide, and over 600 E-Jets have been delivered, around 40 of which to customers in the Middle East.
The newly-expanded portfolio of Embraer Executive Jets consists of the entry level Phenom 100, the light Phenom 300, the midlight Legacy 450, the midsize Legacy 500, the super midsize Legacy 600, the large Legacy 650, and the ultra-large Lineage 1000 aircraft. The Legacy 600 entered service in 2002, marking Embraer’s debut in the business jet market. Over 20 Legacy 600s are currently operating in the Middle East region. The Lineage 1000 is the largest executive jet produced by Embraer, the first of which was delivered, last May, to HE Aamer Abdul Jalil Al Fahim, of Abu Dhabi, UAE. These facts show the region’s importance to this sector. In October 2009, the new Legacy 650 was announced at the Annual Meeting and Convention of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) in Orlando, Florida, U.S. The Phenom 100 has over 50 jets in operation, and the Phenom 300 is on track to be certified by the end of 2009.

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. In view of the inherent risks and uncertainties, such estimates, events and circumstances may not take place. The actual results can therefore differ substantially from those previously published as Embraer expectations.
