“The certification of the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 jets
in Indonesia extends the enduring relationship we have with the
country, where five Embraer Legacy 600s are in operation,”
said José Eduardo Costas, Embraer Vice President, Marketing

certification reflects our commitment to offer best-in-class
