Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA, the world's fourth-largest aircraft maker, expects 60 percent of Asia Pacific sales over the next two decades to come from China, the world's fastest-growing major economy.

The company, which has a venture in China to assemble 50- seat regional aircraft, expects to sell more than 600 planes in the country over the next 20 years, said Frederico Fleury Curado, executive vice president for commercial aircraft sales, in an interview in Singapore today.

``China, as a country, is probably the second-largest market for us,'' Curado said. ``We're focusing on planes in the 30 to 120-seat range, and we see over 1,000 planes over the next 20 years. Roughly 60 percent of that will come from mainland China.''
