Embraer delivers record 66 aircraft in third quarter
AVIATION NEWS-Embraer delivered 66 aircraft in the third quarter of 2026, its strongest third-quarter performance to date. Deliveries rose 6% year-on-year and 2% compared with the previous quarter, taking the nine-month total to 175 aircraft, up 14% from 153 a year earlier.
Commercial Aviation delivered 22 aircraft: 11 E175s and 11 E2-family jets. This represented a 10% increase both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. Executive Aviation delivered 41 business jets, unchanged from the same period in 2025, while Defence & Security handed over one KC-390 Millennium and two A-29 Super Tucanos.
The Brazilian manufacturer attributed its progress partly to efforts to spread production and deliveries more evenly throughout the year. Embraer maintained its 2026 delivery guidance of 80–85 commercial aircraft and 160–170 executive jets.
