Embraer Gets Closer to Building Legacy in China
Under an agreement with China's AVIC, Embraer plans to build Legacy 650s at the Harbin plant where the two companies previously manufactured ERJ-145 regional jets. The Legacy 650 is a truncated variant of the ERJ-145.

Embraer appears to be leading the way among foreign business aircraft manufacturers looking to forge production partnerships in China. The Brazilian company secured an agreement with Avic last April to produce super-midsize Legacy 600s and 650 aircraft at Harbin in northern China through Avic subsidiary Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Co. (HEAI).
