Europe’s largest aerospace manufacturer has sold it’s 2.12 percent stake in Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer for $163 million.In a statement to the Financial Times, EADS said it had earmarked its investment in Embraer for sale as the group focused “its attention on core matters and projects that will provide future growth opportunities.”
