Zitat:Brazilian air force to cut its Embraer KC-390 order, citing pandemic fiscal constraintshttps://www.flightglobal.com/fixed-wing/...83.article
The Brazilian air force plans to cut its order of 28 examples of the Embraer KC-390 Millennium transport due to the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Brasilia’s budget.
The service has not said by how much its order will be reduced, but stated on 27 May that it aims to have Embraer hold production at two aircraft per year. Embraer produced two KC-390s per year in 2019 and 2020, but with the addition of two new customers, Hungary and Portugal, following the Brazilian air force’s initial order, it was expected to ramp up production in the 2020s. [...]
“The health crisis that the world has been facing since the end of 2019 has had an impact on the global economic situation, with impacts also on the Brazilian fiscal and budget situation,” says the Brazilian air force. “As a result, resources allocated to the defence sector have been subject to restrictions that directly limit the strategic projects of the armed forces.”
