Seoul, South Korea, 16 October 2023 – With one of the most comprehensive portfolios and innovative solutions for the defense and security markets, Embraer will be present at ADEX 2023 in Seoul, South Korea. Embraer’s Defense & Security products and solutions, which are present in more than 60 countries, include the C-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft and the A-29 Super Tucano light attack and training aircraft, in addition to broader solutions for air, land, sea, and space domains.

“We are honoured to be at ADEX, and we look forward to growing our relations with the Korean customers and Korea’s broader aerospace community.” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.

Last year, Embraer signed several Memorandum of Understanding with Korean aerospace companies ASTG (Aerospace Technology of Global), EMK (EM Korea Co.), and Kencoa Aerospace with the objective of strengthening collaboration with Korean defense industry partners for the future supply of parts for the Embraer C-390 Millennium aircraft.

The C-390 Millennium, the new generation multi-mission military transport aircraft, is currently under operation with the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), where the existing fleet is presenting operational availability of 80% and mission accomplishment rates in excess of 99%, demonstrating exceptional productivity for this aircraft segment. Besides Brazil, Portugal, Hungary, the Netherlands and most recently Austria have selected the C-390 to modernize their military transport aircraft fleets.
