Embraer and the Indian Government signed a comprehensive deal for three EMB-145 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning & Control) jets, in July 2008, that includes training, technical support, spare parts, and ground support equipment. These aircraft will receive the advanced electronic systems currently under development by India’s Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO). The first delivery is scheduled for 2011, joining four Legacy 600 jets in operation by the Indian Air Force (IAF), which are used to transport Indian VIPs and foreign dignitaries. A fifth Legacy 600 belongs to the Border Security Force (BSF), under India’s Home Ministry. The EMB-145 AEW&C is part of the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) family, which also includes the EMB-145 RS/AGS (Remote Sensing/Air-to-Ground Surveillance) and the EMB-145 MP (Maritime Patrol).
As it completes the 40th year from its founding, Embraer has a strong presence in the Indian market, dealing with both the national government and private companies. Besides the Indian government, the Company has other important customers in the country. Among them are Aviators India Pvt. Ltd., which is the first Phenom executive jet customer in the region and bought two Phenom 100 jets, and Invision Projects Pvt. Ltd., which holds the largest order for Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 jets in India. To support the operations of the growing number of Phenom and Legacy 600 customers in the country, the Company recently chose Indamer Company Pvt. Ltd. to be an authorized service center. In the commercial aviation segment, Embraer provides airplanes to Paramount Airways, the launch customer of the E-Jets in the country, and to Star Aviation, which soon will receive its first E-Jet out of a firm order of seven EMBRAER 170s".

Bangalore: After delivering 200-plus commercial, executive and defence jets to various parts of the world last year, Brasilian manufacturer Embraer, with a firm backlog of nearly $20 billion as of now, is looking at a big market in India. Paramount Airways in India has leased two of the Embraer 170 series aircraft.
Embraer is showcasing its executive jets at the seventh international air show from February 11 to February 15: a super mid-size Legacy 600 and full-scale mock-ups of the Phenom 300 light jet and the Lineage 1000 ultra-large jet cross-section in a closed tent.
"There is a big new market with India one of the most promising markets for us," Embraer vice president, marketing and sales, Asia-Pacific (executive jets) Jose Eduardo Costas told India Today inside the Lineage 1000 plush cabin. "Lots of high net worth individuals and corporates may want to avoid commercial air travel and would prefer the private jet route and they will find these planes very useful."
The company's executive jets portfolio comprises six aircraft: entry level to ultra-large ones.
Phenom 100 can carry up to eight and has a range of 2,182 km, the Legacy 450 carries nine with a 4,260 km range while its largest executive jet carries 19 in five cabin zones and has a 8,334 km range.
The four-decade old aviation company, sited in Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo, has eight of its executive jets in the country - five with the government and three with private corporations. It is hoping to land its ultra-large Lineage 1000.
