Description

AERO Vodochody, the largest aerospace manufacturer in the Czech Republic, is to create up to 200 new jobs as a result of a cooperation agreement with the Brazilian company Embraer for the development and production of a new military multipurpose transport aircraft KC-390 (investment of one billion CZK per year). Although the production is expected to start at the beginning of 2016, the Czech company intends to start the recruitment process immediately.
