Embraer has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI), to strengthen their strategic cooperation in aerospace and defence.
The agreement, signed today by Vice President of Contracts at Embraer Defense & Security, Fabio Caparica, and Executive Chairman of Hellenic Aerospace Industry, Alexandros Diakopoulos, is designed to equip the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) with the operational and support autonomy needed to manage its future C-390 aircraft fleet while advancing the capabilities of the domestic industry.
“Hellenic Aerospace Industry is a company we know well and with whom we have cooperated for several decades. Over the years, we have come to value the expertise of its employees and the quality of the work they deliver. Under these conditions, HAI naturally stands out as the ideal partner for us in Greece," Caparica said.
The MoU reinforces Embraer’s long-term strategy to further strengthen and expand its presence in the European market, supporting the company’s growth,
"Signing this MoU with Embraer means more to us than a business agreement. It reflects our conviction that HAI can and should be the natural choice for world-class aerospace companies seeking a reliable partner in Europe. Developing C-390 maintenance and support capabilities in Greece does not only serve the operational needs of the Hellenic Air Force – it also builds an industrial foundation of lasting, long-term value for our country. It is precisely this combination of operational autonomy and industrial development that defines HAI's strategic direction," Diakopoulos stated.
