Paris, Le Bourget, France, June 18, 2025 – The Ministry of National Defence of Lithuania has announced that the Embraer (NYSE: ERJ/ B3:EMBR3) C-390 Millennium has been chosen as country’s next-generation military transport aircraft.
This decision marks a significant step in enhancing Lithuania’s operational readiness and interoperability within NATO countries (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and paves the way for the acquisition process according to national legal procedures and legislation.
