Pilot Report: Embraer Legacy: Building upon a rich history
Embraer’s Legacy is an impressive corporate version of the company’s venerable ERJ-135/145

Embraer’s Legacy is an impressive corporate version of the company’s venerable ERJ-135/145, some 700 of which are currently the workhorses of many regional airlines around the globe. The São Paulo, Brazil-based manufacturer has delivered 19 Legacys since certification in September last year, but Chicago Midway-based Indigo’s recent suspension of service could put a crimp in Embraer’s order book since that carrier was slated to accept 25 aircraft and held options for 50 more. Embraer has not released any details about how Indigo’s service issues will affect future deliveries. Embraer officials contend the Legacy order book is still holding steady at firm orders for 58 aircraft and options on 92.
