Embraer is expanding its partnerships with BAE Systems under memoranda of understanding signed on Tuesday during the 2022 Farnborough International Airshow to collaborate on potential markets in the Middle East for the C-390 Millennium and to explore defense and security applications for the Eve eVTOL.

The first MoU paves the way for a strategic partnership that would enable Embraer to build on BAE Systems’ long-standing ties in the Middle East for opportunities for Embraer’s C-390 Millennium multi-role military transport aircraft. The partnership particularly focuses on Saudia Arabia, but the companies are considering possibilities in other markets in the region. BAE supplies the primary flight controls for the twin-engine multi-role military transport.
