With a strong presence in the Indian market, Embraer has placed products with both national government agencies and private companies. In the executive aviation sector, the Company has made significant progress. Key customers in India who operate the Phenom 100 include Aviators India Pvt. Ltd. and Invision Pvt. Ltd. The latter received the first two Phenom 100s in India, which are part of a total order for 18 Phenom 100s and two Phenom 300s.

The Indian government currently operates five Legacy 600 jets – four by the Indian Air Force (IAF) to transport authorities, and one by the Border Security Force (BSF), under India’s Home Ministry. The government has also ordered three EMB 145 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning and Control) aircraft for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
