Embraer Announces Lineage Sale at ABACE

Brazilian manufacturer Embraer announced on Monday here at ABACE that it received another order for its Lineage 1000. The order is for a single aircraft, which is scheduled for delivery to an undisclosed Chinese customer in the first half of this year, according to Ernest Edwards, president of Embraer Executive Jets. The order builds on previous successes, including an order from Minsheng Financial Leasing for five Lineages.

Embraer Executive Jets’ (Chalet 130) presence in the Asia Pacific has grown significantly since the delivery of its first executive jet to the region in 2004. The Embraer fleet currently numbers more than 40 units spanning its complete portfolio: the Phenom 100 and 300, Legacy 600 and 650 and Lineage 1000. The company is displaying a Lineage 1000, Legacy 650 and Phenom 300 in the ABACE static area here in Shanghai this week.
