EMBRAER SA is likely to consider building a commercial aircraft factory in China in two years, chief executive officer Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva said, marking a potential shift in strategy after the company shut down its private jet plant in the Asian country in 2016.

The Brazilian planemaker will wait for the rollout of its first E195-E2 aircraft in 2019 before it starts deliberating on the China plan, Mr Silva said on Friday in Singapore. The plant would be the company's first overseas factory for passenger planes.
