China Southern Airlines has taken delivery of its sixth and final ERJ 145 Regional Jet.

The new addition to the China Southern fleet was built by the Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry, a joint venture established between Embraer, Harbin Aviation Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. and Hafei Aviation Industry Co., Ltd. - companies controlled by China Aviation Industry Corporation II.

The first regional aircraft was delivered to China Southern in June 2004 and this latest delivery marks the end of the current regional aircraft order.

Embraer signed an agreement in December 2002 to establish a production unit in China. This marked Embraer's first industrial initiative outside Brazil to manufacture its renowned ERJ 145 family aircraft to better meet the needs of the Chinese market in terms of commercial aviation products. The new company, Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Company Ltd., is based in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, and is specialized in manufacturing the top selling 30-50 seat ERJ 145 regional jet series products.
