On September 30, 2015, the firm order backlog totaled USD 22.1 billion.

The aircraft will be operated by SkyWest Airlines, under an amendment to the existing Capacity Purchase Agreement with United Airlines.

In 3Q15, Embraer delivered the first Legacy 500 midsize jet to a customer in Mexico. The aircraft will be operated by Transpais Aereo, a subsidiary of the Lomex Group Aeronautics Division. Another new customer of the Legacy 500 announced during the quarter was Dallas-based Flexjet LLC, a leading provider of fractional jet ownership services.

Another achievement during the quarter came from the business mid-light jet Legacy 450, which has received type certification from the aeronautical authorities of Brazil, United States and Europe, opening up prospects in a new niche.
