First Embraer 190 Delivered To Brazilian Government

Aircraft Configured For The Brazilian Air Force’s Special Transportation Group

Embraer officially delivered the first Embraer 190 jet to the Brazilian Government Friday, in a ceremony held at the Brasília’s Air Force Base in Brazil’s capital. The aircraft is especially configured for missions involving the President of the Republic and will be operated by the Special Transportation Group (Grupo de Transporte Especial – GTE) of the Brazilian Air Force (Força Aérea Brasileira – FAB).

The contract signed by Embraer and the Aeronautics Command (Comando da Aeronáutica – COMAER), in June of last year, also includes a second aircraft of the same model.

"At Embraer, we are very happy and proud to see the Embraer 190, a product that enjoys great commercial success, worldwide, painted in the colors of the Brazilian national flag, as a part of FAB’s Special Transportation Group, and serving the highest interests of the Brazilian Government,” said Orlando José Ferreira Neto, Embraer Executive Vice President, Defense Market. “As with many other projects that we have developed for the Brazilian Air Force, we are certain that these aircraft for the President and top-Government officials will perform important missions and strengthen even more our successful partnership with FAB."

In order to fully meet FAB specifications, the aircraft includes space for meetings and a private area for the use of the President of the Republic. The jet also has a special safe communications system, and can carry up to 54 passengers and crew members. Its nonstop range from Brasília reaches any destination in South America, and offers great operating flexibility.

The partnership between Embraer and the FAB began 40 years ago and coincides with the Company’s creation.  In support of the two Embraer 190s, the FAB signed a five-year Embraer Support Solutions for Governments (ESSG) contract. This program provides logistical support covering maintenance services, material support, specialized field engineers, and managing repairs and warranties.
