Embraer goes on Millennium win streak at Paris Air Show
The company dominated the Paris Air Show narrative last week, notching several deals across Europe.
Why it matters: Embraer has said it wants to be a U.S. prime — one of the military-contracting big boys, like Lockheed Martin, RTX and Northrop Grumman.
It's talked about potential stateside assembly facilities (should the Pentagon place a major order) as well as adding a flying boom aerial refueling system to pique Air Force interest.
Driving the news: Portugal is buying a sixth aircraft, building on its fleet of five; Lithuania is purchasing three for its military transport needs; and the Netherlands inked a contract for aeromedical evacuation suites (mini hospitals) to outfit its collection.
Embraer described the run as "strong sales momentum" when Axios asked about the announcements.
Catch up quick: Embraer's customer list also includes Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden.

INVESTOR ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Reminds Investors with Losses on their Investment in Lockheed Martin Corporation of Class Action Lawsuit and Upcoming Deadlines
NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Lockheed Martin Corporation ('Lockheed' or the 'Company') (NYSE: LMT). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980, (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased. The class action concerns whether Lockheed and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices. You have until September 26, 2025, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class if you purchased or otherwise acquired Lockheed securities during the Class Period. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at [Click here for information about joining the class action] On October 22, 2024, before the market opened, Lockheed announced that it was forced to recognize losses of $80 million on a classified program at the Company's Aeronautics business segment 'due to higher than anticipated costs to achieve program objectives.' The Company also announced that it had recognized a reach-forward loss in its Rotary and Mission Systems segment 'as a result of additional quantity ordering risk identified on fixed-price options.' On this news, Lockheed's stock price fell $37.63 per share, or 6.12%, to close at $576.98 per share on October 22, 2024. Then, on January 28, 2025, before the market opened, Lockheed announced that it was forced to record pre-tax losses of $1.7 billion associated with classified programs at its Aeronautics and Missiles and Fire Control business. The Company explained that 'as a result of performance trends' and 'in contemplation of near-term program milestones,' it had 'performed a comprehensive review of the program requirements, technical complexities, schedule, and risks' based on which it recognized $555 million of losses in its Aeronautics program. The Company further reported additional losses of approximately $1.3 billion in its Missiles and Fire Control business due to, among other things, the 'future requirements of the program, discussions with the customer and suppliers.' As a result, the Company's net earnings in 2024 were $5.3 billion, or $22.31 per share, compared to $6.9 billion, or $27.55 per share, in 2023. On this news, Lockheed's stock price fell $46.24 per share, or 9.2%, to close at $57.45 per share on January 28, 2025. Then, on July 22, 2025, Lockheed released its second quarter 2025 financial results, reporting sharply lower second-quarter earnings, including $1.6 billion in program losses. The Company disclosed that it was forced to recognize $950 million in losses related to its Aeronautics Classified program due to 'design, integration, and test challenges, as well as other performance issues' as well as 'significant changes to its processes and testing approach.' Lockheed also reported $570 million in losses on its Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program due in part to providing 'additional mission capabilities, enhanced logistical support, fleet life extension, and revised expectations regarding flight hours.' The Company further reported a $95 million charge related to its Turkish Utility Helicopter Program due to the 'current status of the program.' Lockheed said it is in 'ongoing discussion' with its customers regarding a potential 'restructure' of certain contractual terms and conditions. On this news, Lockheed's stock price fell $49.79 per share, or 10.8%, to close at $410.74 per share on July 22, 2025.

See inside a JetBlue Airbus A220, the versatile jet now running its longest route yet for the airline
Airbus exhibited a JetBlue A220 at June's Paris Air Show. The same month, JetBlue began its longest route using an A220 — between Boston and Vancouver. Vancouver and Boston are about 2,500 miles apart, and the flight can take up to six hours. JetBlue previously operated this route until last September using the larger Airbus A321. According to data from the aviation analytics firm Cirium, this is also the fifth-longest A220 route in the world. The title belongs to Air Baltic's 2,684-mile journey between Dubai and Latvia. A splash of colour and the airline's logo made boarding feel more welcoming than a barebones plane. Blue lighting throughout the cabin also added to the atmosphere on board. JetBlue says the custom mood lighting changes through the day. With a more spacious cabin than competing aircraft, the A220 is configured in a rare 2-3 layout. Cabins like this used to be more common on old airplanes like those made by McDonnell Douglas, which merged with Boeing in 1997. There are fewer than 100 Boeing 717s still in service, a jet which was originally known as the MD-95. Other than the A220, Russia's Superjet 100 is the only jet still being built with a 2-3 layout. And yet, the seats are still quite large. JetBlue says the A220 has the widest coach seats of any single-aisle aircraft, measuring 18 inches. Couples or solo travelers might also like the fact that there are fewer middle seats. The first four rows are dedicated to premium seats. In addition to up to seven inches of extra legroom, "EvenMore" comes with early boarding, free alcoholic drinks, and priority security at some airports. There are also another couple of rows by the overwing emergency exits, for a total of 30 premium seats. The relatively large cabin also means there's plenty of overhead bin space — with more improvements on the way. The coach seats offered fairly generous legroom. The pitch, which is the distance between the same spot on one seat and the one in front, is 32 inches. That's typically among the most you can find in economy. I was also impressed by JetBlue's in-flight entertainment system. JetBlue also offers free WiFi, and its A220s have USB-C, USB-A, and AC power for charging. It also has live TV on all of its planes, although this type has only 18 channels compared to over 100 on its A321s. Delta only has live TV on select planes, excluding its A220s. Two bathrooms at the rear were also more spacious than I expected. The A220 was first built by Bombardier, but Airbus bought the program for 1 Canadian dollar. Before it was the A220, it began as Bombardier's CSeries program, which launched in 2008. The plane entered service in 2016. It was already facing financial difficulties due to overspending, development delays, and stiff competition with the Boeing 737-700. Then, in 2017, Boeing accused Bombardier of unfairly trying to increase its market share by selling dozens to Delta for less than their production cost, a practice known as dumping. The US government then imposed duties totaling 292%. It said around 80% was due to the dumping petition and the rest due to subsidies by the Canadian government. Bombardier rejected the allegations at the time and said: "The magnitude of the proposed duty is absurd and divorced from the reality about the financing of multibillion-dollar aircraft programs." In October, Airbus paid 1 Canadian dollar to take a controlling stake in the program in 2017, renaming it the A220 a year later. It also agreed to build many of the planes at its production line in Mobile, Alabama. Since Donald Trump announced his tariff plan, trade deals with the UK, European Union, and Brazil have included exemptions for planes.
