Embraer denies unit closure reports

Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer SA on Friday denied reports that it was considering closing its business-jet factory in China and said its unit was functioning normally.

Bloomberg had earlier reported that the company was considering shutting the plant in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, due to slow sales. The report said the Harbin plant had deliveries of just two Legacy business jets this year, citing an unidentified person.

Embraer China said they have no comments on the report, as they had no idea about Bloomberg's sources.
