Aero Vodochody Assembles Latecoere Deal
The Czech Republic's biggest aircraft manufacturer, Aero Vodochody, has initiated production of subassemblies for Latecoere Toulouse of France.
The components, including hinges and inner door structures, are for Embraer 170 and 190 models.
The contract is worth approximately CKr1bn ($63.5 million).
Aero will be co-operating on the project with its subsidiary Technometra Radotín, which will supply machined parts.
To date, Aero has supplied Latécoere with subassemblies for two door types, but in May expects to finish an Latecoere-specific
assembly line and hopes to begin production for six types of doors and four types of hinges in February 2009.
