Embraer Seen Winning Regional-Jet Contest With Bombardier
This article is for subscribers only.
Embraer SA, a pioneer in building regional jets, is emerging as the global leader of a market that’s shrinking as airlines opt for bigger aircraft.
Bombardier Inc., the Embraer competitor that began selling the planes two decades ago, is focusing on developing a larger model for carriers’ main jet operations and hasn’t landed a regional deal in the U.S. this year. Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp.’s new entry faces a second delay and won’t be ready until 2017.
