Brazil's Federal Police Takes Delivery of First of Two Embraer E175 Jets

(09 Dec 2021)  Brazil's Federal Police has taken delivery of the first of two Embraer E175 jets.

The aircraft, which previously operated in the United Kingdom before being handed over to the Federal Police, was repainted and underwent numerous other adjustments at OGMA, an Embraer Group company in Portugal.

The second E175 is scheduled for delivery in 2022.

“The introduction of the E175, a modern and efficient jet, will further expand the scope of our main missions, such as deploying agents to fight organized crime operations, transferring detainees, moving equipment and cargo,” said the Director-General of the Federal Police, Paulo Gustavo Maiurino.

The partnership between Embraer and the Federal Police spans more than 15 years, since the entry into operation of two ERJ 145 jets in 2006, both of which are still operating with the Federal Police

As well as current aircraft, the E175 will support other security forces in the country, being an asset that boosts not only Federal Police operations but those for the entire sphere of public security under the Federal Government.

“We are proud that the Federal Police has chosen to operate the E175 jet, which will be the largest aircraft in the country used for public security, adding capacity in the transport of passengers and cargo, in addition to increasing flight range, which expands the number of missions the Federal Police can perform,” said Jackson Schneider, President and CEO of Embraer Defense and Security.
