Melbourne, FL, May 14, 2013 – Embraer Executive Jets will mark the world debut of its all new, midsize Legacy 500 jet prototype at the 13th
European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE -www.ebace.aero), at Geneva Palexpo Exhibition Center, in Switzerland, during May 20-23. The company will also debut the 2013 Edition of its ultra-large Lineage 1000. The entry-level Phenom 100, the Phenom 300 light jet and the large Legacy 650 will be featured in the static display.
“EBACE, Europe’s premier business aviation gathering, is an excellent showcase to debut the
Legacy 500 and the 2013 Lineage 1000,” said Ernest Edwards, President, Embraer Executive Jets. “As
with the Phenom 100 and the Phenom 300 before it, the Legacy 500 is recognized as a game changer in its
category. It is the first midsize jet with full fly-by-wire technology for complete envelope protection and improved comfort, efficiency and reduced pilot workload
resulting in even more safety. In addition, we are also bringing our new 2013 Edition of the Lineage 1000, featuring
an enhanced interior, refined exterior appearance and our Enhanced Vision System EVS.”

first midsize jet with a six-foot (1.82 meters), stand-up cabin, offering the best cabin volume in the class. It is the only midsize jet with a wet galley. It offers the best high-speed cruise and the best cabin pressurization at 6,000 feet to ease jet lag.
