NEWS RELEASE

EMBRAER ANNOUNCES ITS DELIVERY FORECAST FOR 2006 and 2007

Sao Jose dos Campos, Nov. 18, 2005 - During the 6th Embraer Day held November 17
and 18 at its headquarters in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, Embraer (BOVESPA:
EMBR3 e EMBR4) (NYSE: ERJ) announced its airline and business jet delivery
forecast for 2006 and 2007.

Embraer maintains its forecast to deliver 145 aircraft in 2006 and expects to
deliver 150 aircraft in the airline segment, business jet segment and
authorities transportation portion of the defense segment in 2007. This estimate
takes into consideration airlines filing for bankruptcy protection,
cancellations in the 50-seats segment and the growth trend of 70-to 110-seats
jets.

In terms of percentages, it is worth highlighting that, in accordance with the
new Embraer market forecast, the share of deliveries for jets of the EMBRAER
170/190 family is expected to increase in the coming years. Embraer expects
these will represent, starting in 2006, more than 70 percent of the deliveries
