Boeing will take an 80-percent share of Embraer’s commercial aviation business under the terms of a non-binding agreement announced Thursday. The memorandum of understanding proposes the formation of a joint venture meant to “strategically align” the companies’ commercial development, production, marketing, and lifecycle services operations. Under the terms of the agreement, Boeing will hold an 80 percent ownership stake in the joint venture and Embraer will own the remaining 20 percent stake.
