Embraer showcases its aircraft and solutions at the "Japan Aerospace Exhibition" from October 16 to 19, 2024. The company features its E-Jets family of commercial aircraft, the multi-mission C-390 Millennium airlifter and advanced air mobility solutions from Eve Air Mobility, an independent company founded by the Brazilian industry.

With 47 first-generation E-Jets already connecting over 30 cities nationwide through Japan Airlines and Fuji Dream Airlines, the E-Jets have demonstrated how it is ideally suited for the Japanese market since the first E-Jet commenced operations in the country 15 years ago.

The Brazilian industry forecasts a robust demand for aircraft in the up to 150-seat segment in Japan over the next 20 years, driven by the replacement of older airplanes and the right-sizing of larger narrow-body fleets.

Recently, Embraer introduced significant enhancements to its E-175 and E-Jets E2 family of aircraft.

The C-390 Millennium multi-mission military transport aircraft can bring benefits for the Japanese defense and security sector. With a 26-ton payload, top speed of 470 knots, state-of-the-art systems and the ability to operate from unpaved runways, this model is a versatile solution for various missions (cargo transport, peacekeeping operations, medical evacuation, disaster management and air to air refueling). The current fleet of C-390 aircraft globally has accumulated more than 14,000 flight hours. The airplane has been selected by South Korea, the Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal and Brazil.

This same dedication to delivering innovative solutions is reflected in Embraer's commitment to the future of Japanese aerospace through Eve Air Mobility. This company is actively contributing to the development of a robust advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem in Japan. As a member of Japan's Advanced Air Mobility Public-Private Committee, Eve is working closely with the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport & Tourism on AAM regulations and policies for Japan.

In 2023, it was announced that Japan’s Nidec Corporation and Embraer will form a joint-venture company to develop Electric Propulsion Systems for the aerospace sector. The industry Nidec Aerospace combines the complementary synergies and distinct areas of expertise of two engineering companies to spearhead a new era of air mobility.

The JV’s Electric Propulsion System launch-customer will be Eve Air Mobility as it develops its Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicle. 

Embraer's participation in the event highlights its long-term vision for the Japanese market and its dedication to delivering innovative and sustainable aerospace solutions that benefit the Nation and the broader region.
