PARIS, June 20 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer (EMBR3.SA) on Tuesday notched fresh orders from American Airlines and Spanish carrier Binter for its E-Jets in deals announced at the Paris Airshow that are seen totaling about $1 billion.
Embraer, the world's third-largest planemaker after Airbus and Boeing (BA.N), said the new orders follow expansion goals of regional carriers such as Binter and Canada's Porter Airlines, underscoring positive momentum for its planes in global markets.
"We were expecting Embraer to announce at least 30 new orders during the event," they said.
"We believe that additional new orders could be announced in the coming days, as in the last Paris Air Show Embraer divided its announcements into 3 days."
"The best orders are repeat orders," Embraer's Chief Commercial Officer for commercial aviation Martyn Holmes said.
