Le Bourget facility in France will support Phenom family for line and base maintenance

São José dos Campos, July 29, 2009 – Embraer Executive Jets Service Center in Le Bourget
received, this month, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification to perform
maintenance services on the Phenom 100 jet. The maintenance staff went through theoretical
classes at Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS) and practical training at Embraer’s facility in
Gavião Peixoto, Brazil.

“We are very proud to announce this important milestone and to add the Phenom 100 to our
maintenance capability list,” said Sébastien Albouy, Senior Manager, Embraer Executive Jet
Service Center – Le Bourget. “We are looking forward to building successful relationships with our Phenom customers, as the first deliveries begin in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”

Located at one of the busiest European airports, 20 minutes from downtown Paris, the Le
Bourget service center benefits from its very close proximity to the Embraer European spare
parts distribution center in Villepinte. This is a key advantage for supporting base
maintenance activities, reducing the downtime of the aircraft, and offering Aircraft On
Ground (AOG) missions, while providing engineers with quick access to parts and tools.
