Embraer has received a $1.3 billion contract to design and deliver a new military transport, called the KC-390. The Brazilian air force set the requirements and expects the aircraft to enter service in 2015, with the delivery of two prototypes.

Company president Frederico Fleury Curado has predicted that the aircraft will become “another successful export platform for both Embraer and Brazil.” At
the same time, Embraer also recently signed a contract with the Brazilian navy valued at $140 million for the renovation of 12 A-4 Skyhawk fighters.
