Embraer and PT Dirgantara Indonesia have signed a MoU aimed at growing collaboration in commercial aviation. The MoU was signed at the Indonesia-Brazil CEO Forum, chaired by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Brazil in the presence of several Indonesian figures including Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, Special Presidential Envoy of the Republic of Indonesia Hashim Djojohadikusumo and Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) Anindya Bakrie.

Embraer and PTDI will conduct joint studies to evaluate partnership opportunities in commercial aviation, in areas such as engineering and the supply of aerostructures. The collaboration framework will be guided by rigorous commercial and technical standards, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and business objectives. Both companies are committed to exploring opportunities that create mutual value while maintaining the highest quality and performance standards in aerospace manufacturing. This agreement represents a significant step in advancing aerospace collaboration between Brazil and Indonesia, fostering technological innovation and industrial partnerships across emerging economies.
