Brazil's federal police get second ERJ-145 regional jet

By Kate Sarsfield

Embraer subsidiary ECC Leasing has sold a second ERJ-145 regional jet to Brazil's federal police department.

The 50-seat pre-owned aircraft is scheduled for delivery in the first half of the year - three years after the police received the first type.

The aircraft will be used for a range of missions, says Embraer, including transporting officials, border control, and combating international drug trafficking and terrorism.
