Speaking at the Embraer Media Day presentation in New York City this morning, Embraer president and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto said the company is now reaping the harvest from the investments and changes it made in recent years. He pointed to the portfolio of new products the Brazilian manufacturer has introduced over the past decade in its commercial, defense, and private aviation markets.

This includes the E-Jets E2, the C-390 Millennium military transport, and, on the private aviation side, the Praetor family and upgrades to its Phenom light jets. Neto credits this modern portfolio with higher revenues.
