SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, Dec. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer (B3: EMBR3, NYSE:
ERJ) announced today a firm order for six light attack and advanced
trainer A-29 Super Tucanos placed by an undisclosed customer. This
order will be included in the 4Q24 backlog and deliveries are
scheduled to take place in 2026.
These aircraft will be equipped with enhanced capabilities to
perform missions such as battlefield air interdiction, close air
support, maritime patrol, maritime strike and other territorial
defense operations.
"We are thrilled to announce new sales of the A-29 Super Tucano,
as we see this aircraft as the right fit for many nations around
the world," said Bosco da Costa
Junior, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.
"The A-29 is the global leader in its category because it's a
proven, reliable and well advanced aircraft."
As a multi-mission aircraft, the A-29 Super Tucano provides air
forces with versatility for armed reconnaissance, close air
support, light attack, and advanced training missions on a single
platform, which exponentially increases the aircraft's availability
and operational flexibility. Its robust airframe allows the
aircraft to operate from unpaved runways in austere
environments.
The A-29 Super Tucano is the global leader in its category, with
over 290 orders and more than 570,000 flight hours, including
60,000 in combat. In 2024, Embraer announced new sales of the Super
Tucano to the Portuguese Air Force (A-29N), the Uruguayan Air Force
and the Paraguayan Air Force.
