Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.

Frederico Fleury Curado, the president and CEO of Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, is frustrated that his company cannot shake long-held perceptions that it operates in a low-cost environment. He points to Brazil’s rising wages, high taxes and costly regulatory burdens. Meanwhile, a sharp rise in the value of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar is further eroding the once enviable cost advantage of operating in Brazil.

Embraer has tapped an aerospace manufacturing veteran to run a new business jet assembly plant it plans to open early next year in Florida. The center, expected to be fully functional in 2011, will become Embraer’s first manufacturing facility in the U.S. Embraer has slowly grown its presence in the U.S. since 1979, employing 700 workers in Tennessee, Arizona, Connecticut, Minnesota and Florida. Phil Krull will become managing director of the Brazilian aircraft builder’s assembly plant.
