The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and Embraer have reduced contract costs of developing the KC-390 aircraft by about USD 42 million, after a reassessment of the contract held on October 19.
This reduction was only possible thanks to the joint efforts of the Coordinating Committee for Combat Aircraft (COPAC) of FAB and Embraer, which, through the Program Executive of the KC-X Project, conducted analyzes and used modern management tools to good effect.
To formalize this reduction by the signature of a new contract amendment, the President of the COPAC, Air Brigadier Carlos Baptista de Almeida Junior, and the Vice President of Operations of Embraer Defense and Security, Eduardo Bonini Santos Pinto, confirmed the existing partnership between the Air Force and the Brazil’s aerospace industry.
This partnership has, since the beginning of national aviation, contributed to the creation of new technologies and jobs, and to the development Brazil.
