Aircraft Configured With 50 Seats Will Be Used For Operational Missions

Embraer Subsidiary ECC Leasing Company Limited delivered an ERJ 145 jet Wednesday to the Brazilian Federal Police Department (Departamento de Polícia Federal – DPF), fulfilling a sales contract announced in February of this year. The 50-seat, pre-owned aircraft will serve with the Operational Aviation Coordination Department (Coordenação de Aviação Operacional), in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, joining another aircraft of the same model that was delivered in July 2006.

“ECC Leasing is very pleased to deliver this jet to the Federal Police Department, thus consolidating its involvement with this important agency of the Brazilian Government,” stated Paulo Estevão de Carvalho Tullio, Director of ECC Leasing. “The first jet has been successfully used by the Federal Police Department and, for that reason, we are confident that this second aircraft will also be highly useful.”

The airplane will be used by the DPF on new missions arising from the expansion of its operational scope. The commercial agreement also includes a service package that will benefit both this and the first aircraft, increasing the reliability of both.

“The availability rates for fulfilling our missions, shown by the first ERJ 145 operated by the DPF was one of the determining factors for acquiring this second airplane,” said Rubens José Maleiner, Coordinator of Operational Aviation for the Federal Police Department. “The ERJ 145 is a robust aircraft, conceived for high levels of use, and it offers the flexibility we need to perform our missions in various regions throughout the country.”
