Embraer strengthens presence in Europe: Partnership (MoUs) with Lithuania finalized

Embraer (NYSE: ERJ; B3: EMBR3), a global leader in aerospace, has signed several memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with eight Lithuanian institutions and companies: Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Gediminas University of Technology, Aktyvus Photonics, J&C Aero, Nordic Aircraft Systems, Brolis Defence, DAT and the Baltic Institute of Advanced Technology.

The agreements cover maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), engineering and innovation, technological development and supply chain management.

This move follows Lithuania’s decision in June 2025 to purchase the C-390 Millennium multi-role aircraft from Embraer. This puts Lithuania in the list of NATO partners such as Portugal, Slovakia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Sweden in selecting this aircraft to modernize their air forces.

The C-390 offers a payload of 26 tons, a top speed of 470 knots, and a wide range of missions, including troop transport, medical evacuation, firefighting, and aerial refueling. Since entering service in 2019, it has achieved a mission readiness rate of 93% and a mission completion rate of over 99%.

Embraer emphasizes that Lithuania’s growing aerospace ecosystem and technological expertise make it an ideal partner for the company’s long-term European strategy.
