SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer SA (SA:EMBR3) said on Monday it was replacing the head of its commercial aviation unit after a planned deal to have Boeing Co (N:BA) take over that division fell apart in April.
Embraer said it had promoted Arjan Meijer to replace John Slattery, who under the original plan was going to become a Boeing executive in charge of the Embraer partnership. Slattery will become President and CEO of GE Aviation, the aircraft lessor reported separately on Monday.
