Brazilian government opposes the acquisition of Embraer by Boeing
Sao Paulo - Boeing wants to take over Embraer or merge with the South American manufacturer. But Brazilian President Michel Temer is against the sale of the national aircraft manufacturer to the Americans. (airlinerwatch.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The Brazilian government appropriately read the tea leaves...Boeing would relocate much of their production to the continental USA stripping out the most profitable leaving Brazil with manufacture of labor intensive low technology parts.
Try reading the article. Besides, Boeing have an “in” with South American airlines (see: LATAM, Gol—738 carrier already, and Azul at the very least) for RJs would tie up a huge chunk of the Americas for Embraer. There is no way Boeing would risk that by kneecapping Embraer after paying a fortune to assume control of it.
Three items belie that reply: Air Canada WestJet, all Canadian defense contracting. Likely they will get run out of the UK defense contracts as well. You just negated your own point.
Boeing will find out over the next few years that pissing off government is much riskier and costlier than taking on manufacturing competitors. We will hear lots of bravado from the Boeing executives but over the next few years the bottom line will be hurt.

Really? Canada's idea of outwitting Boeing was going to Australia for Boeing's F-18.
Where Airbus and, now, Bombardier, are concerned, there is no difference between taking on governments and "competitors."

First off Canada doesn't need to"outwit" anyone..Canada went to Austraiia F-18A to "extend its fleet" of aircraft AND to relinquish some of its "old" F-18's to the hangar parts room until new aircraft were on deck..Boeing had no part in the sale and it doesnt put any money into Boeing's pocket.
With the odds being that, following Boeing's continued bullying tactics, they will have little chance of a future military contract in Canada for decades. Looking at it from a distance it would appear to me that Boeing is panicking and resorting to bullying based on some dead-end high volume technology (ie: 737, F18, F15) and more than capable competition. Predict less than stellar financial performance ahead.
The buying fro Australia is only temporary. Canada will be locking to replace 88 fighter jets. Boeing will get a lesson, they aren’t the only one to sell jets Canada need!
Boeing doesnt have any "in"..LATAM is mainly an Airbus fleet and will be even more so when the rest of the A350s arrive..yes they have some Dreamliners but their 767's will soon diminish just as their 777's did
Boeing's "in" would be through TAM, a major component of LATAM and a Brazilian airline. To my knowledge, they don't have much of a "regional" presence" such as Azul has. Azul flies Embraers, and is an attempt to copy JetBlue.
The ability of Boeing to bring economies of scale and preferential pricing to the selling of regional jets would make the Embraer a very attractive option for LATAM and lock-down the RJ market in South America.

LATAM buys the aircraft not TAM..TAM has been a major player with Airbus all along anyhow and LATAM is not interested nor concerned serving the smaller markets..that is left to GOL, Azul, SKY etc...As of right now Azul has no Boeings in its fleet and just started receiving its first of A320NEO's.
