IAF for more Embraer Legacy jets
The Indian Air Force is in the process of drawing up a requirement for additional Embraer ECJ135 Legacy jets for VVIP transport. In addition to the four already in service with the Delhi-based Communication Squadron dedicated to VVIP transport, the IAF is of the view that increased duties have compelled the formulation of a fresh requirement. The numbers are not certain yet, though it is likely that the IAF will be looking for four more aircraft. The BSF also operates one Embraer ECJ135 Legacy.
The Embraers have served well in IAF service and have proven to be a pleasant surprise for maintenance crew. The Embraers are complemented in the squadron by 3 Boeing 737-based BBJs. Embraer has also got a substantial amount of business from the Indian airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) programme, in which it has been contracted to supply three (one already delivered and in flight test) modified ERJ 145 airframes, with business prospect of supplying 20 more in the medium term as the IAF's requirements fructify.
