Brazil’s Embraer has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Netherlands’ Fokker Techniek and Fokker Services to explore opportunities for joint projects.

Under the MoU signed on 18 October, the collaboration will focus on a wide range of activities in the defence, commercial and support markets.

The companies will discuss several opportunities and aim to leverage their respective experiences and capabilities in upcoming projects.

In the field of defence, Embraer, Fokker Techniek and Fokker Services will discuss C-390 Millennium transport aircraft and specific end-user requirements and future fleet support.

“Their network, experience and worldwide recognised aviation tradition will be a perfect match with Embraer Services and Support. We believe together we can service our customers better with tailor-made solutions.”
