Embraer recently broke ground for a new executive jets service center at Williams Gateway Airport, in Mesa, Ariz. The facility is scheduled for completion in mid-2008 and will be one of three locations in the U.S. dedicated to full-service care for the Company's Phenom 100, Phenom 300 and Legacy 600 executive jets.

"Embraer is proud to establish its presence in the State of Arizona, in demonstration of its long-term commitment to satisfying the executive jet customers, as well as to bringing new jobs to the local community," said Edson Carlos Mallaco, Embraer's Senior Vice President, Aviation Services. "With this new investment, our goal is to develop a highly competitive infrastructure that will exceed the expectations of the business jet market by offering convenient and efficient support and services."

Partners in the Embraer project include the State of Arizona, the Williams Gateway Airport Authority and the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
