Embraer Ends Business Jet Production In China

June 2, 2016

Embraer will stop producing Legacy 650 executive jets in China, ending a 13-year joint venture at a factory in Harbin amid weak demand for private aircraft in the country.

Embraer said it remained committed to serving Chinese demand for commercial and executive aircraft, supporting local clients through its office in Beijing.

The Harbin plant formerly produced the ERJ-145, a prior generation of Embraer regional jet.
