Embraer and its Chinese joint venture partners – AVIC subsidiaries Harbin Aviation Industry (Group) Co and Harbin Hafei Aviation Industry Co have confirmed the phase out of their joint venture company Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Co (HEAI) after 13 years of manufacturing and delivery of commercial and executive jets in China. The last delivery of its Legacy 650 aircraft occurred in March.

The ERJ 145’s and Legacy 650’s produced in Harbin have the same quality and standards of their siblings manufactured by Embraer in Brazil and provide its operators with high levels of dispatch reliability, superior performance and low operating costs.

The company remains fully committed to and will continue to serve the Chinese commercial and executive aircraft markets.
