Luis Carlos Affonso, executive v-p of Embraer Executive Jets added more details to the revelation last week that Embraer plans to open a facility at Florida’s Melbourne International Airport for final assembly and interior completion of the Brazilian manufacturer’s new Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 (see related story on page 6).
A memorandum of intent has already been executed by all the necessary parties and a final decision is predicated on approval by state and local governments. Melbourne mayor Harry Goode described the arrival of Embraer as adding a multitude of benefits for the community that would be “a real win for Melbourne.” The city is located on Florida’s east coast, about 290 kilometers (180 miles) north of Miami.
