Embraer Capitalizing on Healthy Financing Market
Places six EETCs over past three years

An undeniably healthy market for financing commercial aircraft has the likes of Brazil’s Embraer accessing capital markets at a vigorous rate, as low interest rates and strong yields within the airline business create an environment airframers describe as nothing less than robust. Speaking on Monday with AIN during this year’s International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading Americas conference in San Diego, Embraer director of customer finance Marcelo Santiago noted his company saw six Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificate (EETC) placements for E-Jets over the past three years, a clear indicator of the confidence financiers have shown in the marketability of that narrowbody line in particular.
