Embraer has named Swift Aviation as its exclusive distributor for the Legacy business jet in the Middle East. The Dubai show was the first time the Brazilian manufacturer has shown the Legacy, which is based on its ERJ-135/145 regional jets. Embraer says that, although there is no regional jet market in the Gulf, the Legacy, which retails for just under $20 million, should sell well in the region. Swift will set up a Legacy sales centre in Bahrain and is planning a demonstration tour next year.
