Austrian aerospace supplier FACC has secured a significant order from Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer. As announced during a presentation on February 24, 2026, FACC will develop and produce key interior components for the new Praetor 500E and Praetor 600E business jet models.
The collaboration encompasses the production of cabin linings, monuments, and components for the cargo hold and cockpit. This order strengthens the market position of the Upper Austrian company in the super-midsize and midsize business jet segment and secures long-term production volumes at its Austrian locations.
The technical implementation of the new cabin generation is based on modern lightweight construction technology, enabling the integration of high-quality materials such as leather, wood veneers, and metal applications. A special feature of the Praetor series is the in-flight entertainment system seamlessly integrated into the side walls, for whose structural integration FACC is responsible. In this context, Embraer emphasized the industrial expertise of its partner in manufacturing complex interior designs on a large scale while ensuring consistent quality across the entire fleet. With a range of over 7.400 kilometers, the Praetor 600E is considered one of the most capable aircraft in its class.
The cooperation between the two companies has existed for over two decades and has received numerous awards in recent years. In addition to interior fittings, FACC also supplies structural components such as spoilers and ailerons for Embraer's commercial E2 aircraft family. In 2021, 2024, and 2025, the Brazilian corporation named the company "Supplier of the Year." This continuous recognition underscores the reliability of the supply chains and the technological level of the aerospace components developed in Austria, which are used worldwide in civil aviation.
For FACC, this new milestone marks a continuation of its growth trajectory in the area of cabin interiors. The company benefits from the increasing global demand for private and business aircraft, which are gaining in appeal through improved range and enhanced cabin comfort. Early involvement in the development process of the new Praetor generation allows FACC to fully leverage its expertise in the industrialization of complex interiors. The group, which employs around 3.000 people worldwide, is thus consolidating its position as one of the leading systems suppliers for the global aviation industry.
