BRAZIL CELEBRATED ITS National Day on September 7 and the occasion was not only a moment of pride for the nation but also a reminder of the growing bonds between Brazil and India — two dynamic economies with shared aspirations for innovation, security, and sustainable growth. These ties have been strengthened through high-level dialogues and state visits where defense cooperation emerged as a key area of mutual interest.

For Embraer, Brazil's flagship aerospace and defense company, this partnership holds immense promise. As India prepares to mark its Air Force Day on October 8, Embraer is reaffirming its commitment to supporting India's long-term vision for defense modernization, strategic self-reliance, and operational excellence.

Currently, nearly 50 Embraer aircraft — spanning 11 different types — operate in India across defense, commercial, and business aviation sectors. All are supported by Embraer's established service and support network in the country. Embraer's C-390 Millennium, the latest aircraft in Embraer's portfolio and one of the world's most advanced military transport aircraft could open a new chapter for Embraer in India as we seek to sink our roots further in the country.
