Embraer Q1 Deliveries Rise 47% Year over Year

Embraer delivered 44 aircraft in the first quarter, 47% more than the 30 jets reported delivered in the same period last year, as production leveling efforts continued to show progress.

The Brazilian manufacturer’s executive jets division handed over 29 business aircraft in the first three months, up 26% from 23 a year earlier. These deliveries included one Phenom 100, 15 Phenom 300s, nine Praetor 500s, and four Praetor 600s. The increase in light and midsize jets reflected sustained demand across the business aviation segment.

Its commercial aviation unit shipped 10 airliners in the quarter: six E175s, one E190-E2, and three E195-E2s, compared with seven aircraft in the same period a year ago. The E195-E2 is Embraer’s largest in-production airliner.

Defense and security delivered five aircraft in the quarter: one KC-390 Millennium multi-mission military transport, and four A-29 Super Tucanos. The division had no deliveries in the first quarter of 2025.

Embraer projects 80 to 85 commercial aircraft deliveries for 2026, representing 6% growth at the midpoint compared with last year. The company forecasts 160 to 170 executive jet deliveries for the year, also 6% growth at the midpoint. Combined commercial and executive aviation forecast totals 240 to 255 aircraft for 2026.
