    Press Release: Embraer Confirms Ejet

    This second EMBRAER 175 is the fifth E-Jet in the airline’s all Embraer fleet São José dos Campos, October 22, 2010 – Embraer has signed a contract with Fuji Dream Airlines (FDA) of Japan for the sale of an EMBRAER 175, which is the fifth E-Jet in the airline’s fleet. The new aircraft will be configured in a single class with 84 seats. The order also includes an option for one additional aircraft of the same model and marks the quick expansion of FDA’s fleet in a highly competitive market like Japan’s. This deal is already included in Embraer’s firm order backlog for the third quarter of 2010, as “Undisclosed” customer.

    “We are honored that FDA has reaffirmed its confidence in the E-Jets family and ordered another EMBRAER 175,” said Paulo César de Souza e Silva, Embraer Executive Vice President, Airline Market. “The re-order is a sign that our E-Jets have been instrumental in the birth and growth of a new airline, and provided it with an optimal tool to develop new routes, while providing their customers with a reliable and comfortable airplane.”

    As a start-up airline in Japan in 2007, FDA chose to purchase two EMBRAER 170s as its debut aircraft. The first was delivered in February 2009. In June, the airline decided to increase the fleet and ordered one EMBRAER 175, which joined the two original EMBRAER 170s in early 2010. With this agreement, FDA will end 2010 with a total of five E-Jets (three EMBRAER 170s – one pre-owned and bought this year – and two EMBRAER 175s).

    “Since FDA started offering flights in July 2009, we have made significant progress in developing our network and business. This progress has been made possible partly due to the operational flexibility offered by the E-Jets family, especially the EMBRAER 170 and EMBRAER 175, which has allowed us to explore and capitalize on new routes,” said Tsuneji Sugawa, Senior Managing Director of Fuji Dream Airlines.

    FDA is the only airline in Japan with an all-Embraer E-Jets fleet. The company is part of the Suzuyo Group, which owns a full-flight simulator to provide pilot and fleet engineering training for its staff. FDA has also signed a ten-year Pool Flight Hour program contract with Embraer to manage and facilitate all necessary spare parts for its E-Jets. The program gives airlines the opportunity to reduce their cost exposure related to parts inventory and storage facilities, therefore increasing their capacity to budget costs.

    NTSB PR: Jim Cash Awarded Sammie

    National Transportation Safety Board’s James Cash has been awarded a Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals for career achievement in public service.

    “Jim Cash is a humble and soft-spoken gentleman. But underneath that demeanor, there is a lion-hearted intellectual dedicated to investigation and committed to safety,” said NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman. “Through his decades of work, his dogged determination and expertise, Jim has made significant contributions to accident investigations that have yielded the clues that led to important safety improvements. Because of that work, he has long been recognized by his colleagues around the world as a pre-eminent technical expert in accident investigation. He truly exemplifies the best of our NTSB staff and of public service overall. I am honored to work along-side him, to learn from him, and to share his passion and commitment to transportation safety.”

    Cash is the NTSB’s Chief Technical Advisor in the Office of Research and Engineering. He has spent nearly three decades deciphering information from electronic recording devices to help determine the causes of major aviation and other transportation accidents that, in turn, led to recommendations to advance transportation safety for the traveling public. Cash is one of world’s leading experts on cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders, which help determine the system failures and human errors that cause airplane crashes.

    The Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals, or “Sammies,” honor outstanding federal employees. The winners were nominated by colleagues familiar with their work and selected by a committee that includes nearly 20 leaders in government, academia, the private sector, media and philanthropy. More than 400 nominations were submitted for medal consideration this year.
