Embraer hopes to have its first modernized AMX jet flying in the "first semester" of 2012, the company says in its first quarter earnings report.
Two flight test aircraft and eight production jets are at the Brazilian airframer's facilities awaiting their "revitalization."
Meanwhile the Brazilian navy's modernization program for its 12 Boeing (originally Douglas) A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft is continuing on track. The jets are locally designated as AF-1s.
Meanwhile, the A-29 Tucano is doing well despite the recent setback with the US Air Force Light Air Support program, but the company expects a new contract award in 2013. Brazil has also secured contracts with Bukina Faso, Angola, and Mauritania for the light counter-insurgency turboprop. The total value of the African contracts is about $180 million.
Meanwhile, Embraer's ambitious KC-390 program continues having selected all of its major suppliers.
