The Embraer KC-390 prototype visited the Czech Republic, Malta, Egypt and the UAE following its international debut appearance at the Farnborough airshow last month. Czech aerospace company Aero Vodochody is a risk-sharing partner in the KC-390, but the other countries are evidently considered to be additional potential customers. Although Embraer has identified five countries that could order a combined 32 aircraft, the order for 28 from the Brazilian air force remains the only firm commitment for the airlifter to date.
