Embraer deliveries up 26% in first quarter
In addition, selling expenses saw massive jump tied in part to the company’s announcement of Praetor 500/600 ‘E’ family models.
Embraer delivered 29 executive jets in the first quarter of 2026, up 26% year-over-year from 23 aircraft in the first quarter of 2025.
The deliveries consisted of 16 small jets (15 Phenom 300s and one Phenom 100) and 13 medium jets (nine Praetor 500s and four Praetor 600s).
Embraer Executive Aviation is hoping to deliver between 160 aircraft and 170 aircraft in 2026. This means that it has already delivered about 18% of its planned deliveries. In the past five years it has typically delivered 12% of its yearly deliveries in the first quarter.
It ended the quarter with a $7.6bn executive aviation backlog. This is the same as at the end of 2025 (then a record). It also has another $5.3bn in agreed options.
Embraer Commercial Aviation ended the first quarter with a $15bn backlog. It delivered 10 commercial jets.
