Brazilian planemaker Embraer aims to expand its defense unit by targeting strategic markets like India, Saudi Arabia, the EU, and the US for its C-390 Millennium aircraft. India is considering the aircraft in an open tender, while Saudi Arabia is in early talks to replace its aging C-130 Hercules fleet, potentially buying 25 units within two to four years. Embraer also has international customers including Portugal, Hungary, and South Korea, and is exploring opportunities in Sweden and the US. Emphasizing partnerships with Mahindra in India and Saab in Sweden, Embraer seeks to strengthen ties with the US defense sector, aiming for mergers and acquisitions to enhance its market presence.
