Embraer to Await Boeing Move Before Deciding on 150-Seat Plane

Embraer SA, the world’s fourth-largest planemaker, reiterated that it will wait to see what Boeing Co. does in the single-aisle aircraft market before deciding whether to build a 150-seat plane.

“We plan to wait to see what Boeing decides,” Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, president of Embraer’s commercial aviation unit, said in an interview yesterday in Singapore. “We believe it’s important to have every piece of information about our competitors for us to make a sound decision.”
