In South Korea, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration selected the C-390 Millennium tactical airlifter under a $544 million program in December. This marked Embraer’s first order in Asia, following successful bids in Europe and the Middle East in 2023. Officials expect high market demand in Asia and anticipate revealing new customers in the first quarter. Embraer plans to showcase the C-390 at the Singapore Airshow and explore partnerships to expand its reach. The company signed a maintenance agreement with ST Engineering and partnered with Saab to pitch the C-390 to the Swedish Air Force. Additionally, Embraer partnered with Mahindra Defence Systems in India and signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabian Military Industries for regional expansion.
