Maximum cruise speed (Mach .80): 470 kts 870 km/h
Time to climb to FL 350 (500nm): 15 min
Take off field length (SL, ISA, MTOW): 6,329 ft 1.929 m
Take off field length (SL, ISA, 500nm): 4,222 ft 1.287 m
Landing field length (SL, ISA, MLW): 4,524 ft 1.379 m
Range full pax, LRC: 2,300 nm 4.260 km

The performance figures give it away as a "regional" jet, rather than a domestic trunk route aircraft. Nice field performance - as you say BIK, tyre pressures may be a problem at Australian regional airports. And if it displays the same very competitive (for their day) seat/mile costs of the EMB110 and EMB120, it will be a winner.

The web site doesn't indicate what engines it uses. Any idea?
