The Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have granted certification for the Legacy 650 executive jet. This large extended-range aircraft is a derivative of the successful Legacy 600 super midsize, which has nearly 200 units delivered to customers, worldwide.

"We are happy to announce today the ANAC and EASA certifications of the Legacy 650, just one year after the program launch at the last NBAA convention. This will allow us to start deliveries of the aircraft in 2010, as planned," said Luís Carlos Affonso, Embraer Executive Vice President, Executive Jets. "The Legacy 650 met all of the original specification targets, particularly the 3,900 nm range, which allows the airplane to connect important city pairs and open new markets for Embraer."
