Brazil's Embraer supplies Phenom 100 for UK military training

Reuters - UK Focus

SAO PAULO, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer will supply five Phenom 100 ultralight executive jets to train pilots in the British armed forces, the company said on Wednesday.

Embraer (Sao Paolo: R2:EMBR3S.SA - news) struck the deal, which covers support services and options for more aircraft, with Affinity Flight Training Services, a consortium of Lockheed Martin (Swiss: LMT.SW - news) and Babcock International contracting with the Ministry of Defense.

The agreement follows a November order from the Emirates Flight Training Academy for five Phenom 100 aircraft and marks further inroads by the Brazilian company with NATO armed forces.

Embraer won a U.S (Other OTC: UBGXF - news) . Air Force deal in 2013 to supply 20 light attack planes for counterinsurgency missions in Afghanistan. (Reporting by Brad Haynes)
