Most of the EMB-120's were sold in the US and the Western Hemisphere although some have been purchased by airlines such as Air France. Although no aircraft have been produced since 2002 it is still available to order because it is made on the same assembly line as the ERJ's, and is made out of many of the same parts. The extinction of commercial turboprops during the late 1990's and the first few years of the current decade was caused by an influx of regional jets. The EMR 120 was a victim of this as well. Only the ability to be built on a regional jet line has saved it from following the out-of-production aircraft like the Saab 340, Do-328, and others. As the aircraft is still officially "in production", it is possible that the recent resurgence of turboprops may result in additional orders for the Brasilia.
