São José dos Campos, January 12, 2010 – Embraer delivered 91 jets to the airline,
executive and defense markets during the fourth quarter of 2009 (4Q09), totaling 244
airplanes for the year, surpassing the guidance of 242 deliveries. The Company’s firm
order backlog totaled US$ 16.6 billion on December 31, 2009.
In 4Q09, Embraer delivered 23 E-Jets and three ERJ 145 jets to the airline market; six
Legacy 600 super midsize jets, 52 Phenom 100 entry level jets, two Lineage 1000 ultralarge
jets, and the first Phenom 300 light jet to the executive jets market; and one ERJ 135
jet, two Phenom 100 jets, and one EMBRAER 190 jet to the defense market.
In the commercial aviation segment, in 4Q09, Embraer signed contracts with Oman Air, in
the Persian Gulf, for the sale of five EMBRAER 175 E-Jets, and with Austria’s NIKI
Luftfahrt GmbH airline, which confirmed purchase rights for two more EMBRAER 190 EJets.
During the last three months of the year, Embraer welcomed Kazakhstan’s Air Astana,
that will operate two EMBRAER 190s in Asia, via a leasing contract with U.S.-based
Jetscape, Inc.
In the last quarter of 2009, Embraer began delivery of the Phenom 300 light executive jet,
which was certified in December by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (Agência
Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC) and by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the
United States. In October, Embraer launched a new executive jet – the Legacy 650, in the large
category – and announced the first order by Aircraft Asset Management AAM GmbH, from
Germany, for two of this aircraft model. Another highlight was the growth in the number of
deliveries of the Phenom 100 entry level jets – 52 aircraft in 4Q09.
For the defense market, Embraer announced a contract signed with the Royal Thai Navy for the
sale of a second ERJ 135 jet. The Brazilian government received its second EMBRAER 190 jet,
configured for missions by the President of the Republic, after the first airplane had been
delivered in September. In December, Embraer began delivering the Super Tucano to two
customers: two aircraft went to the government of the Dominican Republic, which ordered
eight airplanes, and another four went to the Chilean Air Force (FACH), which will receive
12 airplanes.
