Embraer is boosting its sales network in Africa, with the appointment of Nigeria’s Barbedos Group as its authorized sales representative in the country, as well as in the nearby west African states of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana and Senegal. The private company, founded in 2002, is based at Kaduna Airport and operates a Legacy 600 and also provides charter services through its Skyjet Aviation Services subsidiary.

“The Phenom 300, Legacy 600 and Legacy 650 are already in operation on the continent,” said Colin Steven, Embraer’s executive jets vice president, marketing and sales, for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. “We are confident that the Barbedos Group will assist us in further increasing our presence in the region.”
