Embraer’s Legacy road show in full swing
After a long wait, Embraer’s Legacy business jet received European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) certification on July 5.

After a long wait, Embraer’s Legacy business jet received European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) certification on July 5. FAA approval, expected some time ago but delayed by the events of September 11, was expected during the following few weeks, according to the company, but had yet to surface at press time.

A 14-week, 20-city North American tour that ends later this month has generated a few surprises for Embraer’s Legacy marketing team. The tour is carrying a cabin mockup of the Legacy 14,000 mi on an 18-wheeler from Minneapolis to Dallas and from Boston to Monterrey, Mexico and 10 cities in between. Meanwhile, the first completed and flying Legacy has been on tour in Europe, having made its May debut on the continent at the European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva.
