Embraer's Legacy 500 has been certified by EASA following a ceremony at the agency's Cologne headquarters.

“EASA's certification is a very important achievement for the Legacy 500, which is introducing advanced technologies and superior comfort in the midsize class,” says Embraer Executive Jets president and ceo Marco Túlio Pellegrini.

“The approval of this revolu-tionary aircraft is a testament to our commitment to deliver true innovation to the market.”

The Legacy 500 also met FAA certification requirements in October 2014.
