Embraer is showcasing its KC-390 Millennium transport aircraft at the Paris Air Show running from 19 to 25 June, as the Brazilian manufacturer looks to add to the export successes it has so far scored in Europe.
Appearing for the third time at the biennial (barring a four-year break from 2019 to 2023 due to the Covid-19 pandemic)event at Le Bourget, the KC-390 will once again feature in both the static and the flying displays as Embraer looks to add to Hungary, Portugal, and the Netherlands as European customers for the twin-engined medium airlifter.
With these three countries signed up alongside the Brazil launch customer, Embraer will be targeting Austria, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and the NATO Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) as European countries or European-based organisations that have expressed various levels of interest in the aircraft.
