The European Commission’s pause of its antitrust review of the Boeing-Embraer combination has put Embraer Commercial Aircraft CEO John Slattery in the unenviable position of having to practice patience with the process while costs associated with preparations for the proposed merger continue to mount. Speaking with AIN in downtown Dubai the day before the start of the Dubai Air Show, Slattery expressed respect for the EC and its request for more information from the companies before resuming its review, all the while he and hundreds of Embraer employees work diligently to complete the process of compiling the requested data “in the next couple of days.”
