EMBRAER CAN HELP INDIA ACHIEVE GLOBAL EXPORTER STATUS

What are the latest developments related to the kc-390 heavy lifter?

Since its first delivery to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) in 2019, the Embraer KC390 Millennium multi-mission aircraft has proven its capability, reliability and outstanding performance on domestic and overseas missions, including a joint operational exercise with the US Air Force at the start of this year. The entrance of the Embraer C-390 Millennium into the market comes at a crucial moment where air forces and governments seek to update their airlift fleet and to incorporate aircraft with modern technology.

FAB’s current fleet of the Embraer KC-390s stands at four and these aircraft have exceeded 3,650 flight hours in operation, including its extensive use in operations to transport equipment and medical supplies across the country urgently needed to address the COVID-19 situation in Brazil.

What are the advantages of the kc-390 that could make it well-suited for future Indian requirements for a medium airlifted?

Brazil and India share many similarities and many Embraer aircraft are operated in India across the commercial aviation, business aviation, government VIP transportation and military areas. The versatility of the C-390 Millennium makes it highly capable to operate in India, undertaking a range of missions across different terrains with a high reliability rate. The C-390 Millennium is the most modern aircraft in its class, encompassing full “fly-by-wire” technology. The modern features of the C-390 and its impressive mission completion rate means that the aircraft can be part of a quick response team to address hostilities along India’s vast borders it shares with seven other countries or within.
