Saab and Embraer ready to expand Gripen production in Brazil

Saab and Embraer are discussing expanding their partnership for the production of Gripen E/F fighters in Brazil. The framework agreement, finalized at the Farnborough air show on July 21st, could lead Embraer to more than double its planned assembly numbers. Currently, Embraer intends to assemble a specific number of Gripen E/F aircraft; however, this expansion represents a significant increase in output. This development underscores the ongoing strategic collaboration between the Swedish and Brazilian aerospace companies. The details of the expanded scope remain under discussion as negotiations proceed following the initial signing.
