  "account": "São Paulo – Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer is expanding its footprint in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through a series of strategic partnerships and a significant sale of military aircraft. In a contract signed earlier this year, Embraer committed to supplying 10 C-390 Millennium aircraft to the UAE Air Force, with the option to purchase ten more. Embraer's President and CEO, Francisco Gomes Neto, described this sale as a \"historic agreement\" that marks the largest international order for the multirole aircraft placed by a single country. This deal demonstrates Embraer's close collaboration with the UAE in services and training, with plans to purchase regional parts. Gomes Neto emphasized the UAE's potential market for all Embraer products, citing the sale of two Praetor 600 executive aircraft to the UAE earlier this year. While the upcoming eVTOL aircraft, a product of Embraer's Eve Air Mobility subsidiary, presents potential in the region, it is still under development and will likely be assembled and operated locally if selected. Embraer has also bolstered its ties with the UAE through a long-term collaboration agreement with Abu Dhabi fund Mubadala, a memorandum with Strata, and an agreement with Generation 5 Holding for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services and after-sales support. As of the third quarter of this year, Embraer's order backlog reached USD 35.7 billion, marking a 14% increase from the previous year. Despite the positive outlook, Gomes Neto expressed concern over rising fuel prices due to the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict, which is driving up jet fuel costs and impacting airlines' expenses.",
