There are reasons for smiles among the staff at Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, most notably the traction the company’s Embraer Executive Jets division has achieved.

With the launch of the Phenom 100 very light jet and Phenom 300 light jet programs in 2005, the addition of the Lineage 1000 executive version of its E190 regional airliner in 2006 and the announcement last year that it has formally launched the Legacy 450 and Legacy 500 programs, Embraer has made it clear that it is serious about becoming “a major player” in the business aviation market.
