Milestone highlights accelerated progress in the LTA-II program and Embraer's partnership with the Republic of Korea, Asia's first C-390 Millennium operator

Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3) today announced at the Singapore Airshow that the first C-390 Millennium military transport aircraft for the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) has reached the final stage of its assembly process. The aircraft will now proceed to the production flights ahead of the integration of specific systems to meet ROKAF requirements.
