Boeing Co. is seeking a partnership with Brazilian planemaker Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA to strengthen its bid to make 36 fighter jets for the country’s airforce, Valor Economico reported, citing Joseph T. McAndrew, Boeing’s vice president for Europe, Israel and America.
Boeing has offered to partner with Embraer on 10 projects, including construction of a plant in Brazil, which would supply parts for the U.S. planemaker’s F-18 Super Hornets, the Sao Paulo-based newspaper said. The factory would probably be in Sao Jose dos Campos, where Embraer is based, Valor said.
