Brazilian Embraer boosts jet sales in China (Agencies) Updated: 2004-08-09 14:51
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica, the world's fourth largest aircraft maker,
will boost sales from its factory in China as the government cuts the cost of
internal flights.
Empresa estimates Chinese airlines will buy 250 jets over the next decade to
serve routes within the country.
The Brazilian aircraft maker expects the plant to deliver six 50-seat Embraer
planes this year.
It opened its US$50-million plant in Harbin, the capital of Northeast China's
Heilongjiang Province, in February.
