Embraer delivered 28 business jets during the third quarter, accounting for 65 percent of the company’s total and representing a 22 percent increase over the same period last year.
Deliveries included 17 Phenom 300s and two Phenom 100s, compared with 13 Phenom 300s and two Phenom 100s in third-quarter 2022. Embraer also handed over nine Praetors (four 500s and five 600s) in the most recent quarter, up from four apiece a year earlier.
For the first three quarters of the year, Embraer delivered 66 business jets, compared with 39 commercial airplanes.
The value of its executive aviation backlog now stands at $4.3 billion, while its book-to-bill ratio of 1.5:1 highlights the high volume of jet sales and deliveries. Embraer said the business unit continues to enjoy sustained demand across its entire portfolio and strong customer acceptance in both retail and fleet markets.
At NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Embraer introduced the Phenom 100EX and revealed an autothrottle feature for the Phenom 300E.
Separately, Embraer said this month that it has successfully tested the Phenom 300E and Praetor 600 on 100 percent neat sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The tests, during which the aircraft flew on one engine running on 100 percent SAF, took place at Embraer’s facility in Melbourne, Florida, and provided what the company called significant insight into systems performance.
Embraer also said that Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS) will add more training capacity with the deployment of two new Phenom 300 full-flight simulators. The company expects one to enter service in early 2024 at CAE London Burgess Hill, and the other in the third quarter of next year at CAE Las Vegas.
