SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS,
Brazil,
July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Embraer
signed a contract with Aeromexico to incorporate 12 EMBRAER 190 jets into its
fleet as part of the airline's modernization plan. The new aircraft will be
flown by its Aeromexico Connect subsidiary, which already operates 28 ERJ 145
jets, and has taken operating leases on four EMBRAER 190 jets from GE
Commercial Aviation Services (GECAS), since
November 2007. This operation is
already included in Embraer's 2008 second quarter firm order backlog.
"We appreciate Aeromexico's new order and are honored to be able to
support this airline's decision to renew its fleet with highly efficient,
high-technology aircraft," said Mauro Kern, Embraer Executive Vice President,
Airline Market. "Embraer and Aeromexico share the history of a successful
commercial alliance and we are confident that this new agreement will further
strengthen our good relations."
Aeromexico was Embraer's launch customer for both the ERJ 145 and the E-
Jets families in Mexico, in 2003 and 2007, respectively. The airline's new
EMBRAER 190s will have the same configuration as the first four, that is, 99
seats in a dual-class layout -- 11 executive class and 88 coach. The efforts
put forth to achieve a perfect combination of high performance, cost
efficiency and customer satisfaction confirm Aeromexico's goal to keep its
current position as the leading Mexican carrier in the domestic and
international air transportation markets.
The EMBRAER 190 is one of four members of the E-Jets family and entered
service in August 2005. As of June 30, 2008, the EMBRAER 170/190 family of
E-Jets had logged 847 firm orders and 827 options from more than 45 customers
in 30 countries on five continents, and had surpassed 1.5 million flight
hours.

financial tendencies that affect Embraer's businesses. Those estimates are
subject to risks, uncertainties and suppositions that include, among others:
general economic, political and trade conditions in Brazil and in those
markets where Embraer does business; expectations on industry trends; the

regulations. The words "believe," "may," "is able," "will be able," "intend,"
"continue," "anticipate," "expect" and other similar terms are supposed to
