The Boeing-Embraer deal has taken another step forward with the approval of shareholders, after injunctions in Brazil blocking the shareholder meeting and vote were quashed. This eliminates another hurdle and the transaction will now move to the purview of global antitrust regulators, which may require Boeing to take additional actions.
Analysis
Clearly, not everyone in Brazil is happy with the transaction, particularly some unions that are concerned about employment levels and continuing influence. Other groups are concerned that Boeing’s focus on commercial and the KC-390 tanker
will potentially drain resources away from the remaining businesses at Embraer, including business aircraft.
There are concerns that Embraer’s engineering organization, which is organized by functional specialty such as landing gear, avionics, wings, and structures, could be re-organized to a program by program basis under Boeing. If the teams are re-organized to support new Boeing programs, what will be left to support Embraer’s remaining military and business jet business units?
