During the next six weeks Embraer will be delivering the first of its Lineage 1000 business jets to the Dubai-based Al Fahim group. The new model is derived from the Brazilian airframer’s 98- to 114-seat E190 regional jet and, offering five separate cabin compartments, is well suited to Middle Eastern customers’ appetite for plenty of space in flight. But according to Claudio Camelier, Embraer’s vice president for market intelligence, the diversifying business aviation market in this part of the world will also find a need for its smaller new models: the Legacy 450 and 500, and the Phenom 300 and 100.

The midlight Legacy 450 and the larger midsize 500 will enter service, in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Camelier said that their ranges–2,300 nm and 3,000 nm, respectively–are well suited to the needs of some Middle Eastern operators and are the only aircraft in their class to offer flat-floor stand-up cabins.
