China Southern Airlines, the largest airline in The People’s Republic of China has just received its sixth and final ERJ 145 Regional Jet. The new addition was built by the Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Company Limited, a joint venture between Brazil and China.

Embraer is among Brazil’s leading exporting companies. As of March 31, 2004 Embraer had a total workforce of 14,090 people, and its firm order backlog totaled US$ 10.9 billion.
