Embraer takes full ownership of cabin interiors joint venture

Embraer has secured 100% ownership of EZ Air Interior Limited, ending a 14-year joint venture with Safran Cabin. The Brazilian aerospace manufacturer acquired Safran’s remaining 50% stake in the Chihuahua, Mexico facility on 1 July 2026, following regulatory approvals. This move consolidates cabin interior production exclusively under Embraer, strengthening supply chain control and manufacturing capabilities for the E-Jets family, including the E2. The site employs 1,100 workers and produces luggage bins, galleys, lavatories, and floor panels. Embraer will also integrate Safran Cabin Brazil operations tied to its programs, while non-Embraer engineering services remain with Safran. Full ownership enables tighter alignment between cabin manufacturing and aircraft development cycles.
