Embraer has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI), to strengthen their strategic cooperation in aerospace and defense.

The agreement, signed today by Fabio Caparica, Vice President of Contracts at Embraer Defense & Security, and Mr. Alexandros Diakopoulos, Executive Chairman of Hellenic Aerospace Industry, 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.

"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," said Mr. Alexandros Diakopoulos, Executive Chairman of Hellenic Aerospace 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.” said Fabio Caparica, Vice President of Contracts at Embraer Defense & Security.

“This strategic agreement with Hellenic Aerospace Industry paves the way for future discussions on expanding in-country maintenance expertise, supporting enhanced MRO capabilities and autonomy for the Hellenic Air Force (HAF). We are committed to strengthening this partnership by sharing our services and support expertise to help develop local capabilities and establish a solid foundation for long-term, sustainable cooperation. This agreement will also enable Embraer to further strengthen its presence in Greece and reinforce its long-standing relationship with the country,” said Douglas Lobo, Vice President Customer Support & Aftermarket Sales, Embraer Services & Support.

The MoU reinforces Embraer’s long-term strategy to further strengthen and expand its presence in the European market, supporting the company’s growth and contributing to the advancement of the aerospace and defense sector across the continent.

The C-390 Millennium represents the next generation of military airlift with multi-mission capability and interoperability built by design. It redefines the standards of versatility, reliability, and operational efficiency, while consistent demonstrating its advanced military airlift capabilities.
