This milestone highlights the technological excellence of the national industry and projects Brazil as a leader in the development of efficient and innovative aerospace solutions. A highlight of this achievement was the contract signed with Portugal, which acquired 12 A-29N Super Tucano aircraft. Adapted to rigorous NATO standards, these military aircraft will be used for advanced pilot training and light attack missions.
This agreement strengthens Portugal's defense capabilities and deepens ties between the two countries and Embraer dominates the global market. In addition, on the African continent, the company secured the sale of four A-29 military aircraft to an undisclosed customer.

This partnership reaffirms Brazil’s role as a regional leader in defense technology and further strengthens ties between South American nations.
Embraer dominates global market with C-390 Millennium
Meanwhile, the C-390 Millennium, another reason why Embraer outperforms other companies, has attracted global attention. An unidentified customer has purchased two of the model, while advanced negotiations suggest Slovakia is close to integrating the aircraft into its fleet.
The growing interest in the C-390 demonstrates the aircraft's versatility, capable of operating in a variety of missions, such as troop transport, aerial refueling and firefighting.
These military aircraft stand out for their ability to transport up to 26 tons of payload, and are widely recognized for their operational efficiency, versatility and competitive cost. With these capabilities, Embraer dominates the global market with the model and has been gaining ground among air forces around the world, including NATO members. Uzbekistan is expected to be the buyer of the two units recently acquired, considering the approvals of financing for Brazilian exports to the country.
Understand Embraer's current situation in the international market
With the sale of 32 military aircraft in December 2024, Embraer surpasses the company and consolidates its position as a leader in the aerospace defense sector. This significant volume includes models such as the A-29 Super Tucano, A-29N Super Tucano and the C-390 Millennium. This performance reflects the maturity of the Brazilian aerospace industry and strengthens Brazil's geopolitical influence on the global stage.
The diversification of the customer base, including countries in Europe, South America, Africa and Asia, illustrates the trust placed in Embraer products. The company's ability to meet the specific demands of each customer, combined with technological innovation, projects Brazil as a synonym for quality and efficiency in the global market.
Embraer’s success in 2024 is a milestone that highlights the potential of the Brazilian aerospace industry. By offering innovative and competitive solutions, the company continues to expand its influence and project Brazil’s name in the international market.
And to think that Temeroso wanted to hand over Embraer to Boeing on a silver platter.
Sellouts and those who harm the country still call themselves patriots.
All that's left for Embraer to do is invest in its own engines so as not to be held hostage by foreign suppliers.
I believe that in the medium term this will happen….
