Embraer and Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI) have moved forward with a strategic cooperation aimed at developing maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities in Greece for the C-390 Millennium transport aircraft. The framework agreement establishes the basis for future in-country support of the C-390, including heavy maintenance and broader sustainment activities, according to the companies.
The planned cooperation would allow HAI to perform key MRO functions for any C-390 aircraft operated by Greece, if an order is placed, and potentially for other regional users. The arrangement is designed to ensure high aircraft availability and reduce reliance on support from outside the country.
The C-390 Millennium is Embraer’s latest-generation multi-mission military transport, designed for tactical and strategic airlift, humanitarian missions, and medical evacuation. It can operate from semi-prepared and unpaved runways and can be configured for air-to-air refueling. By positioning HAI as a future C-390 support center, the agreement aligns with Greece’s ongoing efforts to modernize its airlift capabilities while expanding domestic aerospace industrial activity.
