Embraer’s executive jet division comes to Dubai in bullish form with announcements for more than $200 million of new business and forecasts for strong growth in the sector, particularly in light and very light jets.

The biggest order, worth $146 million, comes from Abu Dhabi–based Falcon Aviation Services (FAS), which has signed for four Phenom 300 very light jets, three Legacy 600 super-midsized jets and a single Lineage 1000 ultra-large business jet. It is the first announced sale of the Lineage 1000, and the first sale in the Middle East. An Embraer spokesman revealed only that “under 15” aircraft have been sold to date but added that “we will see several more orders at Dubai.”
