Dubai-Based Company Will Receive A Lineage 1000 In 2012
Embraer delivered a Legacy 600
executive jet to Dubai’s Titan Aviation, in the United Arab
Emirates, during a ceremony held at the Company’s
headquarters Monday in São José dos Campos, Brazil.
The jet belongs to an undisclosed customer, and will be added to
Titan’s portfolio of managed and operated aircraft, which
includes two Legacy 600s, as well as a Lineage 1000 scheduled to be
delivered in 2012.
“Titan Aviation has become a significant partner of
Embraer, and we wish them great success with this third Legacy
600,” said Colin Steve, Embraer Vice President, Marketing and
Sales, Europe, the Middle East and Africa – Executive Jets.
“Embraer will continue supporting their operations, and we
look forward to having them return soon for more
deliveries.”

“On Titan’s sixth anniversary, it is a pleasure to
come back to Embraer to take delivery of this third Legacy 600.
Our operations with this aircraft are very successful, not
only because it is a proven and reliable platform, but also due to
the tremendous support provided by Embraer all over the
world,” said Capt. Sakeer C. Sheik, Managing Director of
Titan Aviation. “Our company continues investing in the
expansion of its highly qualified staff, in order to better serve
our clients and to be prepared for new opportunities.”
At the event, Mr. Ahmed, Director of Maintenance of Titan
Aviation, commented that “the Legacy 600 performs
excellently, with much less maintenance hassle, in spite of our
clients’ high utilization rate. Furthermore, the maintenance
tracking support services provided by Embraer, such as Flight Docs
and the Embraer Executive Care (EEC) program, are great tools for
us to serve our clients in the most efficient ways.”
The first Legacy 600 joined Titan’s fleet in June 2008,
frequently flying to London City Airport (LCY), and this would not
be possible without the certified steep approach capability. Pilots
also have the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), which provides
precise aircraft performance calculations and electronic copies of
manuals and charts, reducing pilot workload and allowing a
paperless cockpit environment.

The second aircraft has proven to be a very important business
tool for its owner. Delivered to Titan in July 2009, the jet has
already accumulated more than 200 flight hours. The High-Speed Data
(HSD) equipment provides a better use of time, increased work
productivity, and more entertainment possibilities on frequent
seven-hour business flights from Dubai to Europe and to Southeast
African destinations.
The third Legacy 600 delivered, today, comfortably accommodates
13 passengers in three distinct cabin zones. The aircraft will be
supported by Embraer Executive Care (EEC), the same program that
has guaranteed high dispatch reliability for the first two Legacy
600s operated by Titan.
