By the end of 2023, it is estimated that the FAP will also acquire the military aircraft produced by Embraer. In addition, Portugal has already acquired about 5 KC-390 aircraft and a simulator from Embraer, with the first acquisition occurring at the end of 2022. Embraer already has two aircraft orders from the Netherlands and Hungary.
