In a move towards strengthening ties between Saudi Arabia and Brazil, Embraer and the SAMI signed an MoU, marking the initiation of co-operation in the defence and security sector. Notably, the job analytics data indicates that Embraer is leading the way in active jobs in the Middle East and Africa compared to other industry players such as Safran SA, showing Embraer’s commitment to regional development and expansion.
The partnership aims to broaden operational capabilities in Saudi Arabia, emphasising promoting Embraer’s aircraft and maintenance support. The establishment of a regional MRO Hub, a final assembly line for the C-390, and mission system integration further show the depth of this collaboration.
Simultaneously, Embraer solidified its global presence in the Netherlands by signing an MoU with the Netherlands Industries for Defence & Security (NIDV). The data from GlobalData job analytics highlights Embraer’s global strategic positioning, with job activity in France, the United States, and Spain. As the data from GlobalData job analytics reveals, this collaboration aligns with Embraer’s active engagement in the region, with 46 jobs currently active in Europe and a strategic focus on the C-390 Millennium aircraft.
The Netherlands is replacing its C-130H Hercules fleet with the C-390M Millennium; Embraer is contracted, and deliveries should begin in 2026. This purchase was the third by a European nation to purchase the heavy lift aircraft from Embraer, and the aircraft will form part of the European Air Transport Command, according to GlobalData’s “The Netherlands Defense Market 2023-2028” report.
