Facility will be able to assemble up to 96 Phenoms and 72 Legacys annually.
An expansion of Embraer Executive Jets' assembly plant in Melbourne, Fla., is nearing completion. When finished in mid-May 2016, it will double the size of the facility, to 149,000 sq ft, allowing Legacy 450 and 500 assembly to be added alongside the current capability to produce Phenom 100s and 300s.
