Embraer sees Chinese function in enhancing supply chain, executive says

Brazilian planemaker Embraer stated on Wednesday at China's biggest air show in Zhuhai that it prepared to concentrate on enhancing its supply chain, with Chinese business able to play a role.

Embraer is the world's third-largest planemaker and focuses on as much as 150-seat single-aisle regional and executive airplane, sitting simply listed below Plane' and Boeing's. very popular A320 and 737 families and rivalling the Plane. A220.

At Zhuhai, Embraer's primary commercial officer, Martyn. Holmes, noted that China's President Xi Jinping would soon visit. Brazil. The G20 top will be held there this month.

I believe it's an exciting minute for us to be having that. ( supply chain) conversation with Chinese providers and looking. how we develop, Holmes stated.

China is Brazil's top trade partner. Brazilian President. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated previously this year that he desired. to go over a long-lasting strategic collaboration with China.

Market sources have said Embraer is looking for a. tactical partner for a possible new traveler jet project to. complete more directly with Plane and Boeing.

Because the COVID-19 pandemic Embraer has actually pressed to broaden in. Asia with its newest variety of more efficient E2 jets, saying. post-pandemic travel patterns in the area developed more demand. for more frequent secondary and tertiary airport connections.

Singapore Airlines' affordable offshoot Scoot is. the very first operator of the E2 jet in the Asia-Pacific region.

Asia, led by China, has actually been slower to return to. pre-pandemic air traffic levels than other regions.

Embraer had said that China's domestic market has huge. capacity.

Embraer had struggled to find brand-new company in China considering that. the 2016 closure of a joint venture to make executive. jets in the city of Harbin.

However, its E190-E2 and E195-E2 designs got Chinese. certification in 2022 and 2023, and in June, Embraer tattooed a. deal with a Chinese business to transform its E-jets to trucks.
