Boeing? Boeing is a limited partner with Embraer on development of the C-390 and has some exclusive marketing and support rights to the aircraft. And more recently Boeing has been in negotiations to outright purchase Embraer, or at least most of its civil business assets. The Brazilian government will not allow Boeing to purchase Embraer's military assets. Don't know if the C-390 is part of Embraer's civil or military divisions.
