EMBRAER CELEBRATES 1,100th BUSINESS JET DELIVERY
IN THE MEDIA
LEGACY 450: WOW, WHAT AN AIRCRAFT! “Smart Air has been operating the first Legacy 450 in Europe for many months. We receive very positive feedback from customers using the aircraft as a charter. They are extremely pleased with the comfort. My favorite elements are the quietness in the cabin, craftsmanship quality, the astonishing cockpit from a quality and technology standpoint, the fly-by-wire as a true added value in terms of comfort and safety. Pilots enjoy flying this aircraft. These are remarkable features that are not present in other similarly priced aircraft. I now realize that my customer experience with Embraer is far better than what I experienced with other OEMs because we remain customers even after the aircraft delivery. The teams are very invested in customer satisfaction. They have a true willingness in accompanying the customer and ensuring his satisfaction throughout the aircraft operation. The capability of the aircraft to land in Saint-Tropez/La Môle is an important time saver. The landing is done in very safe conditions. The technical data after certification were far better than preliminary data. Those are good surprises when we take the risk of being the first customer on an aircraft not yet certified without any validated performance. It is very nice, as a consultant company, to be able to go back to our customer and say that the choice we recommended is by far exceeding the reality that existed when the decision was made.”
-Stéphane Ledermann, Founder & President, Smart Air Watch Stéphane’s story and request more information at EmbraerExecutiveJets.com/Stephane
The revolutionary Legacy 450 truly transcends previous perceptions of mid-light capabilities. A remarkable union of technology and design, this aircraft flies faster and farther than any other jet in its class. The Legacy 450 delivers an enviable performance, including capability of taking off and landing on shorter runways. This is the only jet in its category with full fly-bywire technology, and the advanced Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion™ platform puts pilots in complete control in a cockpit environment with superior ergonomics and space. Up to nine passengers enjoy the smooth flight experience in the largest-in-class stand-up cabin with unmatched luxury, comfort and style. The jet’s ultra-quiet environment is perfect for working or relaxing. Welcome to the Legacy 450 - a new-generation aircraft that is a true reflection of the heights that can be reached when your mission is to rethink and redefine what’s possible.

GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT
DEAR FRIENDS, Embraer Executive Jets was founded to deliver long-term value to the business aviation community by challenging industry norms, stimulating innovation and elevating the customer experience. Our resolute commitment to these principles has energized the industry and equipped our customers with aircraft and services designed for success. Our dedication to constant innovation and excellence is evident in every one of our aircraft. The first Phenom 100 EV already is proving to be a valuable asset for our customer by providing access to remote, high-altitude airports across Northwestern U.S., and the commercial efficiencies offered by our new Legacy 650E soon will help Air Hamburg expand an already impressive and successful premium charter operation. The adaptability of our aircraft and the creativity of our designers were showcased at EBACE in Geneva, with our full portfolio on display, where the newest Lineage 1000E interior wowed attendees. The technological eminence of the Legacy 450 digital flight controls was also highlighted at the Paris Airshow. And to top off all the excitement we celebrated the delivery of our 400th Phenom 300 light jet and our 1,100th business jet. These achievements illustrate that Embraer Executive Jets is on the leading edge of business aviation, and I can assure you this is where we will stay. We continuously challenge ourselves to redefine business aviation and, as a result, we have created the broadest portfolio in the industry, backed by an outstanding customer support team.

SINO JET BUILDING A LEADING BRAND WITH THE LEGACY 650 Sino Jet has grown rapidly since its launch in 2011 to become one of China’s leading business jet operators, with a mature fleet consisting of 33 business jets. In 2015, Sino Jet added the first of three Legacy 650s to its fleet and since then has used these Embraer large jets to establish itself as a leader in premium leisure travel services and corporate charter. Ms. Wu Bing, Executive President of Sino Jet (Beijing), shared with us the company’s strategy regarding corporate operation and China’s business aviation market. Attention to detail Sino Jet’s corporate culture is all about the details. Since its establishment in 2011, Sino Jet never stopped its pursuit of making continuous breakthroughs and refining its services. The company integrates business jets, high-end tourism and club offerings all together, providing exclusive services in the business jet market.

This service allows customers to enjoy their experience both in the air and on the ground, resulting in a comfortable and carefree trip from the time they leave home to board the jet and throughout the journey until they arrive at their destination.

EMBRAER ADVANTAGE / CUSTOMER STORY
“
The Legacy 650 is excellent in reliability and low in operating costs. We have also received very positive feedback from our clients. They are satisfied with the Legacy 650’s spacious cabin, especially the layout of three separate cabin zones, which offers privacy and excellent comfort.” Wu Bing, Executive President, Sino Jet (Beijing)
The best aircraft for the business In 2015, Sino Jet introduced its first Legacy 650 and now operates three Legacy 650s in its daily operations. These aircraft and the customer support provided by Embraer Executive Jets have been crucial to building Sino Jet’s reputation as a leader in high-end travel products and daily charters, with routes covering the Eurasian continent and Pacific Islands. “The Legacy 650 is excellent in reliability and low in operating costs,” says Wu. “We have also received very positive feedback from our clients. They are satisfied with the Legacy 650’s spacious cabin, especially the layout of three separate cabin zones, which offers privacy and excellent comfort. Moreover, the standard 13-passenger capacity is very popular among our clients, thanks to its practical and flexible nature to satisfy varied travel needs,” she adds. A team of top talents Safety is both the root and the top priority at Sino Jet. The company gathers experienced engineers, operations and
control staff, and pilots from around the industry. They also consider the Embraer Customer Support and Services Network to be key partners of their team. “We sincerely appreciate Embraer’s Customer Support and Services team for always supporting us quickly when we are in need. They actively communicate with our engineers on a daily basis. This is a positive enhancement process of teaching and learning. We trust each other. This is vital,” says Wu. A prosperous future Sino Jet is confident in China’s business aviation market and the partnership with Embraer will only grow as the country embraces the benefits of business aviation. “In the future, there will be huge development opportunities and great prospects for the business aviation market in China,” explains Wu. “We will remain focused on the details and never cease in our pursuit of improvements and innovation in our services. We will make every effort to enrich and deepen our portfolio to offer more diversified, comprehensive and personal services to our clients,” Wu notes.

ELEVATING DESIGN EMBRAER YET AGAIN EXEMPLIFIES ITS COMMITMENT TO RETHINK CONVENTION WITH THE UNVEILING OF TWO CUSTOM LINEAGE 1000E DESIGNS THAT BRING GLAMOUR, ELEGANCE AND EXCITEMENT BACK TO THE FLYING EXPERIENCE
Reviving the style and panache of art deco design – and with notable cues from famed superliner SS Normandie – Embraer Vice President of Interior Design Jay Beever and former Disney Imagineer and renowned designer Eddie Sotto have developed two inspirational Lineage 1000Es: the Manhattan and the Hollywood. Manhattan and Hollywood, as true icons of the 1920s and 1930s, were the perfect muses for Jay and Eddie, and the art deco heart of each locale beats within the two designs. And by fully utilizing the flexibility of Embraer’s Lineage 1000E cabin, these two visionaries have restored the mystique and luxury of flight while delivering the safety, economics and advanced technologies of modern aeronautics. The Manhattan Lineage 1000E is as sophisticated as New York City itself. Deep mahogany wood panels, brass and gold trim and rich jewel hues provide the perfect backdrop for adventure. Beautiful artwork in the entry includes a distinctive metallic mural, reminiscent of the iconic art deco mural in the Empire State Building. The Cloud Club, a luxury lounge inspired by the Chrysler Building, delivers a cosmopolitan style accentuated by a panoramic city loft window unique to the new Lineage 1000E designs. And for those seeking a little more privacy, the Crystal Room delivers a refined ambiance for intimate meals with close friends. The Manhattan evokes a timeless elegance with touches of grand iconic style in a clubby atmosphere ideal for the flow of cocktails and conversation.

LINEAGE 1000E HOLLYWOOD INTERIOR DESIGN
EMBRAER ADVANTAGE / AIRCRAFT UPDATES
With warm, light colors and chrome trim accents, the Hollywood design harkens back to the golden age of movies when glamour reigned supreme. Guests are greeted with a 3D relief sculpted in leather that chronicles the history of Art Deco Hollywood and sets the tone for the neoclassic artwork that adorns the cabin. Industry insiders are gushing over the Hollywood’s throwback to 1930s glitz with an overarching luxurious theme. The Hollywood Lineage 1000E is steeped in MGM style, with a nod to film greats of the black and white movie era. The Lineage 1000E is the ideal canvas for these bespoke shuttle aircraft. The aircraft’s five cabin zones have been configured to create the ultimate adult playground while adopting an intelligent design technique that removes the galley from the boarding area and cleverly locates all crew resources to the back of the plane, out of sight. Guests instead enter into a plush lounge, complete with art and architecture that set a calm and enjoyable mood for every journey. The Manhattan and Hollywood Lineage 1000Es exemplify Embraer’s commitment to continually deliver innovation to the business aviation community and offer the unique perspective that only Embraer can deliver.

PHENOM 100 EV READY FOR EUROPEAN OPERATIONS THE EUROPEAN AVIATION SAFETY AGENCY (EASA) HAS BECOME THE LATEST REGULATOR TO GRANT TYPE CERTIFICATION FOR THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF EMBRAER’S ENTRY-LEVEL BUSINESS JET, THE PHENOM 100 EV
The Phenom 100 EV entered service in March and has been approved by Brazil’s ANAC, the FAA and now EASA. Unveiled at EAA AirVenture in July 2016, the Phenom 100 EV offers more thrust than previous models of Embraer’s first clean-sheet business jet as well as the Prodigy Touch flight deck that was introduced by Embraer’s Phenom 300 light jet. Since the delivery of the first Phenom 100 in December 2008, Embraer’s entry-level jet has helped revitalize a key sector of business aviation as a lead-in trainer for airline and military pilots. Etihad, Emirates, Finnair, the UK Ministry of Defence and China Southern have all acquired the jet for pilot training.

To date, more than 350 Phenom 100s have been delivered to customers in 37 countries. “This additional certification allows us to commence deliveries of this new entry-level business jet in the European market. The Phenom 100 EV exceeds expectations, delivering the value that customers are looking for in an aircraft of this class,” says Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets.

EMBRAER-OWNED SERVICE CENTER IN LE BOURGET
EMBRAER STRENGTHENS GLOBAL SUPPORT NETWORK Embraer Executive Jets has bolstered its global customer support network with the appointment of Russia’s JF Services as an authorized service center for the Legacy 450 mid-light and Legacy 500 midsize business jets. The addition of Moscow-based JF Services to Embraer’s network of 72 owned and authorized service centers follows the recent certification of both aircraft by Russian authorities and the delivery of the first Legacy 500 to a Russian customer. JF Services will support Legacy 450s and Legacy 500s with Russian and EASA registrations. Embraer Executive Jets’ customers also will benefit from the FAA’s recent designation of the company’s Le Bourget service center as a Part 145 repair station, a certification that allows all U.S.-registered Embraer business jets to receive support at this facility just outside Paris. Opened in 2008, the Le Bourget service center provides routine inspections as well as scheduled and unscheduled maintenance for Embraer’s entire business jet portfolio. The Le Bourget facility now holds certifications from 15 global aviation authorities. Embraer’s business jet fleet in the region continues to grow, with 130 customers operating more than 270 aircraft from 40 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

FIGHTER JET EXPERIENCE PRIMED TECHNICIAN FOR FASTER PACE
ERIC SNEED, ASSEMBLY TECHNICIAN
Embraer Executive Jets assembly technician Eric Sneed became proficient at maintaining high standards while working under tight deadlines when he performed avionics maintenance on fighter jets during the Iraq War. “I was a shop supervisor during Operation Iraqi Freedom, so basically every aircraft had to fly as much as possible,” says Sneed, who spent eight years in the Navy as an aviation electronics technician in Virginia Beach. Sneed says repairing wires and cables on F-14B and F/A-18 jets as efficiently as possible provided him the expertise to adapt to the ramped-up assembly-line pace at Embraer, where he installs electrical harnesses and antenna cabling on Phenom 100s and 300s. Since joining Embraer in January 2012, demand has continued to grow, especially for the Phenom 300, which has been the world’s best-selling business jet for four years in a row. Sneed always remains focused on building the best and safest executive jets possible, ever mindful of the customers who will fly in them. “I understand that 20 years from now, people are going to be in this aircraft. So I have to do my job to the best of my ability at the highest quality,” he says.
18
He is proud to be a member of a knowledgeable team that continually rethinks convention, including fellow technicians and manufacturing engineers who have worked on military jets and the NASA space shuttle fleet.
“Florida’s Space Coast is like the Silicon Valley of the aeronautical world, and Embraer sits right at the heart of it all in Melbourne, FL. Embraer truly attracts many of the industry’s best and brightest – from former NASA shuttle engineers to military jet technicians to space systems specialists – and it’s really incredible to work alongside so many esteemed experts.” For Sneed, one especially gratifying aspect of building Embraer aircraft is occasionally spotting one of the executive jets he helped to build. “If I’m not at work, I’m always pointing out Embraer planes and saying, ‘I think I built that.’ Any time I pass by an executive airport, I’m always looking to see if there’s one parked there.”

EMBRAER ADVANTAGE / BRAND
A UNIFIED BRAND TO ACCOMPLISH EVERY MISSION Over the course of nearly 50 years, the Embraer name has become synonymous with innovation, creativity, performance and customer dedication. These intrinsic virtues comprise the company’s soul and have helped establish Embraer as a global leader in commercial, business and military aviation. And as the company looks toward the future, a fresh focus on bringing the heart of its business units together will be the key to further setting Embraer apart. Founded on the principal of propelling progress for the greater good, Embraer is fueled by a long history of service excellence and a culture of relentless innovation. Each division carries on this legacy and is united in a common goal of revolutionizing the industry through its products, services and solutions. From this unified spirit and centered approach comes Embraer’s new brand signature: Challenge. Create. Outperform. “The integrated thinking of a brand is very important,” says Embraer President & CEO Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva. “We are a company that creates innovative products … and we have always valued our dedication to customers. Therefore, our brand needs to reflect these characteristics. After all, the
20
brand is the soul of a company. Not only that, a strong and recognized brand also adds value to the business.” After conducting extensive research (including in-depth discussions with internal and external stakeholders, clients, governments and key people around the world), Embraer set out to build a unified message that conveys its unique integrated engineering capacity – a significant competitive differential – as well as the true essence of the brand: its solidity, relentless pursuit of innovation, use of state-of-theart technology, commitment to the environment and, perhaps most importantly, devotion to the human component. The result of this effort brought forth for Embraer what is now the next evolution of the “Rethink Convention” maxim as it relates to our Executive Jets Business. A powerful new signature that adeptly communicates Embraer’s strategic position as a company grounded in strong, pervasive values with capabilities that are complete and far-reaching. “We constantly challenge ourselves to go beyond the limits of what’s possible and create solutions that make our customers outperform,” says Paulo Cesar.
EMBRAER ADVANTAGE / BRAND
Complemented by a modern and bold visual identity, its branding delivers a clear statement that the company is exceedingly prepared to face the current and future challenges of an increasingly competitive global aviation market, thus making Embraer the ideal choice for the customer, regardless of the segment in which the customer operates. The same technology and innovations applied to the development of a commercial jet and multi-mission military jet are also applied to executive aircraft, ensuring that each of Embraer’s integrated business consistently meets and exceeds the individual needs of each customer profile. This all-encompassing philosophy also underscores Embraer’s emphasis on what, at its core, truly sets the brand apart – being a company that transpires human warmth and welcome. “The brand is much more than just our logo. It involves everything we are as a company: from the way we talk on the phone to the way we present an airplane that will revolutionize the industry. It manifests itself both in a piece of advertising and in the words we use to communicate internally. That is, the brand is present in the surroundings of everything we do,” says Paulo Cesar.
“
We constantly challenge ourselves to go beyond the limits of what’s possible and create solutions that make our customers outperform.” Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva
