Description

Aero Vodochody, a Czech producer of aircrafts, is to create approximately 150 new jobs at Vodochody and Prague-Radotín.

The new jobs will be created between 2008 and 2012, and the jobs will involve the hired employees working on the production of sub-systems and doors for the commercial jets Embraer 170 and Embraer 190. Aero Vodochody currently employs 1200 in the Czech Republic.
