Embraer

Turkish Airlines (THY) is set to start acquisition talks with carrier BoraJet to buy the airliner's Embraer 190 fleet and employ its flight crew following the latter's announcement on April 24 that it temporarily suspended all of its operations for a restructuring process. 

An US company will invest more than BGN 9 M in the construction of a plant for the production of airplane components for the leading aircraft manufacturers.

The plant of 2000 square metres will be located near Sofia airport and will produce parts for the control of the fuel system, as well as components for the wings and tail.

Iran has invited U.S. plane manufacturer Boeing for talks on modernizing its fleet, Transport Minister Abbas Akhoundi said March 3, weeks after Tehran's nuclear deal took effect.

Turkey demanded the aircraft carrying Greek Prime Minister and government’s ministers to Iran not to be landed on the Greek island of Rhodes arguing that Rhodes is a demilitarized area. They even suggested prime minister’s aircraft Embraer to be refueled in Ankara so as to give an overflight permission to Embraer to fly over Turkish airspace.
