In addition to commercial aviation, Boeing and Embraer negotiate in the defense area

“The opportunity is great for Embraer to put its fighter jets on sale in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) countries”, says Marcos Barbieri, a specialist in the aeronautical industry at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). “On the other hand, we need to evaluate whether the contract will require exclusive sales by the joint venture, which will bring losses to Brazil”, he ponders.
