As part of the agreement, Aero Vodochody, a key Czech aerospace manufacturer, will increase its work on Embraer’s C-390 Millennium programme. This will include expanding its production of aircraft components and implementing new industrial capabilities, contributing positively to job creation and export value in the Czech Republic. Aero Vodochody has been involved in the C-390 programme since 2011, manufacturing crucial parts such as the rear fuselage, cargo ramp, and emergency hatches.
Additionally, LOM Praha, a state-owned Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) company, will benefit from knowledge exchange regarding C-390 aircraft maintenance. This will enable LOM Praha’s technicians to perform intermediate maintenance and integrate into the aircraft’s lifecycle management.
The agreement reflects Embraer’s long-term commitment to expanding its global supply chain through cooperation with the Czech industry. Embraer also plans to collaborate with local universities and research institutions on advanced aerospace projects, promoting knowledge exchange and innovation in next-generation aerospace technologies.
Radka Konderlová, Director General for Industrial Cooperation at the Czech Ministry of Defence, highlighted the importance of industrial cooperation in securing the Czech Republic’s security interests, praising Embraer’s long-term engagement with the Czech industry.
