Embraer sees Chinese role in strengthening supply chain, executive says

Brazilian planemaker Embraer said on Wednesday at China's largest air show in Zhuhai that it planned to focus on strengthening its supply chain, with Chinese companies able to play a role. Embraer is the world's third-largest planemaker and focuses on up to 150-seat single-aisle regional and executive aircraft, sitting just below Airbus' and Boeing's best-selling A320 and 737 families and rivalling the Airbus A220. At Zhuhai, Embraer's chief commercial officer, Martyn Holmes, noted that China's President Xi Jinping would soon visit Brazil.
