Embraer is showcasing its KC-390 Millennium multirole aircraft at FIDAE in Santiago, Chile, from April 7 to 12, aiming to secure its first customer in Latin America where it has yet to record regional sales.
The company will present a KC-390 demonstrator featuring a new livery for the first time in the region at the Feria Internacional del Aire y del Espacio, held at Pudahuel Air Base. Alongside the medium-sized military transport, the A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft will also be on display. Embraer plans to highlight its full defense and security portfolio during the biennial event.
The KC-390 can carry 26 tons of payload, cruise at 470 knots, and perform missions such as cargo and troop transport, airdrops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian aid. It operates from temporary or unpaved runways and, with quick-install air-to-air refueling gear, functions as both tanker and receiver.
The A-29 Super Tucano supports advanced pilot training, close air support, air patrol, interdiction, joint terminal attack, armed ISR, border surveillance, air escort, and drone countermeasures. It operates with 22 air forces worldwide, including some in Latin America.
