French Aerospace Firm Exits Aircraft Interior Partnership
Safran and Embraer have agreed to end their aircraft interior partnership in Chihuahua, Mexico, with Safran selling its stake in EZAir to the Brazilian planemaker. The joint venture, which employs 1,100 people, manufactures Embraer’s aircraft interiors, including those for the E-Jets E1 and E2 regional aircraft. The sale, subject to regulatory approvals, also includes aftermarket activities and engineering and manufacturing activities in Brazil. Safran will retain non-Embraer related engineering services in Brazil. The development was first reported by AeroTime.
