Embraer’s Praetor Deliveries Take Off in 1H2025

Embraer’s executive jets division continues to ramp up its manufacturing tempo with a 36% year-over-year increase in aircraft production during the first half. The Brazilian airframer handed over 61 business jets in the first six months, 16 more than during the same span a year ago. For the year, the manufacturer is forecasting 145 to 155 business jet deliveries.

In the midsize business jet segment, it saw a 46% increase in deliveries, handing over 15 Praetor 600s and eleven 500s, compared to eight and six, respectively, in the first half of 2024, while production of its light Phenoms improved by four over the same span.

In the second quarter alone, Embraer delivered 38 business jets, with the 17 Praetors handed over more than doubling those in second-quarter 2024. This compares to 27 business jet deliveries in the same quarter last year.

“We are very excited about the 41% increase in Embraer Executive Jets deliveries to our valued customers in the second quarter, as a direct result of production leveling, smart asset utilization, and key investments we have made to expand our industrial capacity,” Embraer Executive Jets president and CEO Michael Amalfitano told AIN. “In this period, it is worth noting the significant increase in deliveries of the midsize Praetor 500 and super-midsize Praetor business jets.”
