Accelerate [Efficiency] Opportunity: The Tech Eagle

As the mid-scale manufacturer in comparison to the category lead players – Boeing and Airbus – Embraer has been highly successful in carving out and dominating what is known as the regional airline segment. With its new product range, Embraer has had success in expanding its reach into larger international airlines, fulfilling a need for smaller aircraft.
This has led to a more direct competitive stance against the two large manufacturing brands, necessitating a shift and strengthening of brand positioning through differentiation.
