SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian plane maker Embraer said on Tuesday its board approved an additional four-year pause in the development program of E175-E2 jet, according to a securities filing.

Embraer said the decision is related to discussions in the United States over the maximum take-off weight limitation for up to 76 seats aircrafts, as well as global market condition and the continue interest for the current E175 jet in the North America.
