In Portugal, CEiiA and Desaer Will Launch ATL-100 and Plan a New Aircraft Factory Creating 1,200 Jobs

The Portuguese company CEiiA, together with the Brazilian DESAER – a Brazilian company specialized in aircraft development, are launching the ATL-100 Program today in Évora, located in Portugal. The program aims to create a new aircraft factory and generate 1,200 direct jobs in Alentejo.

The ATL-100 stems from the joint venture between CEiiA and DESAER. According to the Portuguese engineering center, the project’s goal is “The development and industrialization of a new generation light aircraft for a short-distance market, multi-configurable for greater flexibility in the logistics of passengers and cargo, designed for lower operational costs and greater sustainability, anticipating the evolution to a carbon-neutral platform.”

Miguel Braga, from CEiiA’s management, said, “With this program, we want to definitively strengthen the national aeronautical hub in Évora, with the development of a complete and innovative program that allows us to create a new integrator from Portugal for the industrialization and operation of new generation aircraft.”

The ATL-100 will have a payload capacity of up to 2.5 tons and a capacity of 19 passengers.

The shareholder of DESAER, Roberto Figueiredo, states that “This partnership brings together complementary competencies from the aerospace sector of Portugal and Brazil, and besides being an important technological innovation and job creation project in both countries, it assumes even more relevance in a context of crisis in the sector caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.”

This is the first complete aviation program involving the development, industrialization, and operation of a new generation of aircraft in Portugal. The official launch of the plan will have the presence of the Minister of Social Cohesion and the Minister of Science, Technology, and Higher Education.

The aviation project has a five-year development plan. It is expected that more than 30 national and international companies and universities related to programs such as MIT will participate. It is estimated that the ATL-100 program will generate 1,200 direct jobs in the Alentejo region of Portugal.
