"Our choice reflects the level of confidence we have in Embraer as a leading manufacturer of commercial jets." As it enters its 60th year of operation, Saudi Arabian Airlines is strongly committed to the development and expansion of services within the Kingdom and the region.

"We are particularly proud and honored to welcome such a prestigious airline as Saudi Arabian Airlines to our growing family of customers," said Mauricio Botelho, President and CEO of Embraer. "Saudi Arabian Airlines' decision to select the EMBRAER 170 represents a milestone in the development of regional aviation within the region. We are privileged to be providing the very first regional jet aircraft to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we look forward to continuing the strong partnership that has developed between our two companies during the many years ahead."
