FAS became an Embraer Authorized Service Center in the Middle East, in November 2008, taking responsibility for the entry level Phenom 100, light Phenom 300, and super midsize Legacy 600 executive jets.

"It's a great pleasure to strengthen our relationship with FAS in support of the Lineage 1000. The move follows the first Lineage 1000 delivery to a customer in Abu Dhabi, last May. We have found FAS, which is also an Embraer executive jet operator, to be a partner for providing high quality maintenance services for our customers in the Middle East."


said Antonio Martini, Embraer Vice President, Customer Support and Services - Europe, Africa and the Middle East - Executive Jets.

Falcon Aviation Services operates two Legacy 600s and is due to receive one more this year. The company also has two Legacy 500 and four Phenom 300 jets on order, plus two Lineage 1000s.

FAS is currently building a new 8,000-square-meter jet maintenance facility at Bateen Airport, in Abu Dhabi, which will be capable of accommodating up to three Lineage 1000s.

"We are very honored to sign this new agreement with Embraer," said Philip Markham, CEO of Falcon Aviation Services. "There is great potential for the Lineage 1000 in the region, and that is why we are investing so much in our maintenance facilities in Abu Dhabi."
