Embraer informed this Tuesday (10) that the Slovak Ministry of Defense will begin negotiations for the acquisition of three C-390 Millennium aircraft in January next year.

“During a visit to Brazil, the Slovak Defense Minister recognized that the Embraer C-390 Millennium is the option that best meets the requirements of Slovakia’s future military transport aircraft,” Embraer said in a statement.
