First 190 Was Delivered Last September
A second Embraer 190 jet has been delivered to the Brazilian
government. Like the first of this model, which was delivered in
September of this year, the aircraft is specially configured for
missions by the President of the Republic, and it will also be
operated by the Special Transport Group (Grupo de Transporte
Especial – GTE) of the Brazilian Air Force (Força
Aérea Brasileira – FAB).

The contract between Embraer and the Aeronautics Command
(Comando da Aeronáutica – COMAER) for the two jets was
signed in June 2008. “It is with a great sense of
satisfaction that we deliver this second Embraer 190 to the
Brazilian government three months after the first delivery of an
aircraft of the same model,” said Orlando José
Ferreira Neto, Embraer Executive Vice President, Defense Market.
“This is one more example of the synergy that exists between
the FAB and Embraer: on the one hand, specifications very well
prepared by the FAB, and on the other, an Embraer team making every
effort to provide a modern airplane, which has the exactly the
functionality, comfort and operational level required by the
government’s missions.”
The second Embraer 190 jet has the same features as the first,
such as a special secure communications system, seats for 54
people, including passengers and crew, and a range that reaches
anywhere in South America, nonstop from Brasilia.
In order to ensure the support and appropriate availability of
the two Embraer 190 jets, the FAB signed a five-year contract with
Embraer for Embraer Support Solutions for Governments (Embraer
Soluções de Suporte para Governos – ESSG). This
is a logistical support package covering maintenance, materials,
specialized engineering labor in the field, and administration of
repairs and warranties.
