Embraer targets China's regional aviation sector

When people talk about Brazil, the first thing that comes to mind is often the country's passion for samba dances and soccer, its vast rainforest and rich variety of natural resources.

Beyond that, Brazil is also home to aircraft manufacturer Embraer, often hailed as the crown jewel of the Brazilian industry, and the company is eyeing the rapidly growing regional aviation market in China's smaller cities to further drive its growth.

In the next 20 years, China is expected to show a demand of 1,630 aircraft with 150 seats and below, according to the latest market outlook that released by Embraer during the just concluded 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.
