Embraer Delays Two-Year For KC-390 Certification
Embraer’s certification for the KC-390 tanker-transport has delayed to the second half of 2017.
Further, Embraer is planning to deliver the first KC-390 cargo jets in the first half of 2018, extending a deadline originally set for the end of 2016.
The disclosure in the company’s second quarter earnings statement represents a delay of up to two years for the military aircraft.
Embraer completed a first flight of the KC-390 in Gaviao Peixoto, Brazil, last February. The Embraer news release presently stated that the flight test campaign for the KC-390 will begin in the third quarter and last 18-24 months.
