ERJ Sells 135s to Thai Navy

Embraer signed contracts with the Royal Thai Army and the Royal Thai Navy for the sale of two ERJ 135 LR (Long-Range) jets. Both agreements include a substantial logistics package, reflecting Embraer’s Defense and Government business expansion in the Asia Pacific region. The new ERJ 135 jets will be used for government transportation by the Royal Thai Army and by the Royal Thai Navy, as well as for Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) missions by the Royal Thai Navy.
In the Defense and Government Market, the ERJ 135 platform has performed government transportation and medical evacuation missions for Brazil and such nations as Belgium, Greece, India, and Nigeria. Owing to its high level of commonality with the ERJ 145 jets, the ERJ 135 version makes it possible for a single air unit to handle a broad variety of missions.
