Embraer’s corporate aviation division is preparing to present the business case for one or more new aircraft programs, with the hope of getting a development green light from the Brazilian group’s top management before the end of June. “We have analyzed several different options covering almost all segments of the market and now we will try to get approval from our investors,” senior v-p for the corporate aviation market Antônio Pires Monteiro told AIN.

For the time being, Embraer’s sole offering to business aviation is the super-midsize Legacy, which is derived from its ERJ-135/145 series of regional jets. Monteiro acknowledged that the company would be in a stronger position if it had a broader range of products to offer, especially since it currently has no entry-level equipment with which to lure newcomers.
