RIO DE JANEIRO, June 7 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer EMBJ3.SA expects to eventually bring its E2 jets into China, seeing a role for the aircraft among the country's domestically developed models, a senior executive told Reuters on Sunday.
"We have a dedicated team in Beijing, they're day-to-day working in China," Embraer Commercial Aviation CEO Arjan Meijer said on the sidelines of a global gathering of top airline executives in Rio de Janeiro. "We believe the E2 family is the ideal complement to the indigenous products of China."
