São José dos Campos, April 29, 2010 – ECC Leasing Company Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Embraer, signed a leasing agreement with Mexico’s Servicios Integrales de
Aviación, S.A. de C.V. (FlyMex) for two 37-seat ERJ 135 jets. The first has been in operation
since February 2010, and the second was delivered this week.
“We are pleased to welcome FlyMex as the newest operator of our ERJ 145 regional jet
family,” said Paulo Estevão de Carvalho Tullio, Embraer Vice President, Asset Management.
“The aircraft’s proven comfort and reliability have made it a favorite among operators
worldwide, and this versatile platform is serving FlyMex well in its charter operations.”

clientele,” said FlyMex spokesperson Ms. Susana Macouset. “The proven ERJ 135 jet is perfect

operations in 2000 as a corporate flight provider, based at the Toluca International Airport, in
Mexico. Although the company was established ten years ago, its technical, administrative and

and dedication doubled FlyMex’s activities in 2009, compared with 2000. In this scenario, the
two Embraer ERJ 135 jets reinforce the airline’s growing fleet to meet market demand.

other charter operators. The company’s experience includes flying to several countries, not
