"Embraer and Boeing welcome the approval of their strategic partnership by the Brazilian government, which will allow both companies to accelerate growth in the global aerospace markets," the press release says.

It is about creating a joint venture, which includes the production of commercial aircraft and Embraer services, in which Boeing will buy a share of 80% for $ 4.2 billion, and Embraer will own the remaining 20%. In addition, the companies agreed to create another joint venture for the promotion and launch of the Embraer KC-390 medium-range aircraft. In this joint venture Embraer will own 51% of the shares, and Boeing - 49%.

In December, the Brazilian court made a preliminary decision to suspend establishment of an alliance between Boeing and Embraer. However, later in December, a federal-level appellate court overturned this ban.
