Embraer Commercial Aviation CEO Arjan Meijer says the company is working to bring its E2 jet family into China to fill the gap between the country's C909 and C919 models. While discussions with potential customers continue, the firm remains focused on its current segment of aircraft seating up to 150 passengers.

Embraer Commercial Aviation CEO Arjan Meijer expects to sell E2 jets in China as a complement to domestic aircraft models. The Brazilian planemaker has struggled to secure new airline orders in the region since closing its Harbin joint venture in 2016. Arjan Meijer said Embraer believes the E2 family will eventually find a moment to enter the market.
