Embraer Executive Jets (EEJ) president and CEO Michael Amalfitano gave a preview of what the company will look like after its commercial aircraft joint venture (JV) with Boeing receives EU anti-trust approval. At the Brazilian airframer’s press conference on Monday on the eve of NBAA-BACE, Amalfitano said the company’s site at Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil—where the production line for its Legacy and Praetor midsize and super-midsize jets are located—will be going to the commercial JV.
