Boeing has signed an collaborative agreement with Embraer to jointly market and discover new business opportunities for the Embraer KC-390 transport and aerial refueling aircraft, plus sustainment and support services.
Embraer will supply the aircraft while Boeing will take charge of in-service support under the agreement, Boeing said Monday.
Jackson Schneider, Embraer’s defense and security president and CEO, said the collaboration between the two companies seeks to expand the availability and the support services of the KC-390.
The KC-390 tactical transport aircraft is designed to be used for a number of missions, including cargo and troop transport, troop and cargo air delivery, aerial refueling, search and rescue and forest fire fighting.
