Embraer Reports Increased Commercial and Executive Jet Deliveries for Third Quarter
Embraer has achieved a six percent year-on-year increase in aircraft deliveries for the third quarter, driven by strong demand in the executive aviation segment and a growing commercial backlog.

The Brazilian manufacturer delivered a total of 57 aircraft during the third quarter, representing a steady climb in output despite ongoing global supply chain constraints. The executive jet division led the growth, reflecting a robust appetite for private travel solutions, while the commercial aviation sector maintained a stable pace. This performance underscores the company's ability to navigate component shortages that have hampered larger aerospace competitors, positioning the firm to meet its annual delivery targets.
The total firm order backlog has reached a multi-year high, currently valued at nearly $23 billion. This financial cushion is largely supported by the success of the E2 commercial jet family and a high volume of orders for the Praetor and Phenom executive lines. As the company ramps up production to clear this backlog, the focus shifts to maintaining margin stability and managing the increased capital expenditure required for accelerated assembly line throughput across its Brazilian facilities.
What to watch: Quarterly book-to-bill ratio for the commercial E2 jet family.
