Overview

• Portugal amended its 2019 contract to acquire a sixth KC-390 Millennium and secured 10 options for future purchases.
• Embraer is courting the U.S. Air Force, showing a USAF-liveried model at the Air, Space and Cyber conference and evaluating U.S. production sites.
• The company says more than 52% of the aircraft’s content is U.S.-sourced and pledges up to $500 million to build KC-390s domestically if selected.
• A previously announced Embraer–L3Harris boom partnership ended last year, and executives now indicate they could self-fund a boom if Air Force interest emerges.
• Embraer reports 11 international customers, including several NATO members, with recent real-world use cases ranging from Amazon relief flights to a HIMARS cold‑load at Ramstein Air Base.
