Akaer, a leader in the aerospace sector, was selected to participate in the production of the C-390 Millennium freighter and the Praetor 600 jet, two of Embraer's main aircraft. The contract, initially valid for five years and subject to renewal, was signed this month, further consolidating the long-standing partnership between the companies.

Akaer will be responsible for essential aircraft components, such as assembling the fuel tanks and pylons of the C-390 Millennium freighter, in addition to contributing to the production of the Praetor 600 jet.

The only Brazilian company qualified as a Tier 1 Global Supplier in the aerospace sector, Akaer has already played a crucial role in projects such as the Super Tucano and the E-Jet family, in addition to collaborating in the development of the C-390 itself.

The C-390 Millennium freighter is one of Embraer's most ambitious plans in the defense sector. With a payload capacity of 26 tons, a maximum speed of 870 km/h and state-of-the-art avionics, it is considered the best aircraft in its category.

Akaer has been present since the beginning of the project, contributing to the development of critical parts, such as spoilers and the front fuselage.

Akaer's role in the future of aviation

With over 9 million hours of accumulated engineering and involvement in over 50 global projects, Akaer is a key player in the advancement of the Brazilian aeronautical sector. The company, headquartered in São José dos Campos (SP), also expands its international presence, with offices in Portugal and Turkey, and the implementation of a new production unit in the Bahia Aerospace Technology Park.

By integrating the production of the C-390 Millennium freighter and the Praetor 600 jet, Akaer reaffirms its capacity for innovation and excellence, consolidating Brazil as an important player in the global aerospace industry.
