Brazil’s Embraer has placed executive vice president Mauro Kern in charge of a new division created to explore the potential market and options for new airplane programs. Effective immediately, Kern assumes his new title of executive vice president for new programs in the airline market.

The organizational changes come as Embraer explores options for a successor to its
E-Jet line of narrowbody jets, which now cover the 70- to 110-seat market segment. The company has talked of either developing a larger model to compete with the
Bombardier C Series or perhaps introducing a new large regional turboprop.
