THEY may be the exception rather than the norm, but Latin America is clearly capable of producing world-class companies. Embraer, set up in 1969 as an aspiring national aircraft-maker by Brazil’s military government and privatised in 1994, has since established itself as the world’s third-largest producer of commercial jet aircraft and the market leader in jets with 50-120 seats. To do so, it has had to be nimble. Its first commercial jet, the 50-seater ERJ-145, sold mainly to North American regional airlines keen to skirt union restrictions on the crewing of larger planes. With its bigger E-170-190 range (of 70-122 seats) the company broke out of that niche, finding customers among many of the world’s main airlines. In 2002 it set up a joint venture in China to manufacture the ERJ-145. It is now building factories in Florida and Portugal.
