Brazilian Aircraft Manufacturer Sees 48 Percent Increase in Deliveries
Embraer has reported its strongest second-quarter delivery performance in 16 years, with 65 airplanes handed over to customers. The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer saw a 48% increase in deliveries from the first quarter of 2026 and a 7% increase from the same period last year. Business jets accounted for the majority of deliveries, with 45 executive jets and 20 commercial aircraft delivered. Embraer attributed the increase to its production leveling initiatives, which aim to reduce the concentration of deliveries late in the year. The company kept its full-year 2026 delivery guidance unchanged, as reported by AeroTime.
