Embraer released its outlook dedicated to the Chinese regional aviation market for 2011-2030 at a press conference held today in Beijing on the opening day of the 14th Beijing Airshow, September 21-24.

Airlines in China have recognized the success of Embraer's commercial aircraft. In the first half of 2011, Embraer welcomed two Chinese airlines as new E-jets customers, namely China Southern Airlines and Hebei Airlines.

Since the first aircraft was delivered to this market in 2000, the Company has delivered around 90 commercial jets to this region, representing over 70 percent?of aircraft up to 120 seats in the Chinese market.
