Aircraft deliveries at Embraer remained stable in the third quarter, with the Brazilian airframer reporting a total of 62 units. While the 41 business jet deliveries in the quarter was unchanged from a year ago, the group achieved a small uptick in commercial aviation, increasing output from 16 to 20 aircraft.
Third-quarter deliveries by Embraer’s executive aviation division included three Phenom 100EXs, 20 Phenom 300Es, 11 Praetor 500s, and seven Praetor 600s. The overall tally was higher than in the second quarter, in which the company delivered 38 business jets.
The 20 airliners delivered included seven E175 twinjets, a pair of the larger E190-E2s, and 11 E195-E2s. The group’s overall total also included a single example of its KC-390 Millennium multirole military aircraft.
By year-end, Embraer estimates it will have delivered between 145 and 155 business jets, and between 77 and 85 airliners, with the midpoints of these projected ranges being respectively 15% and 10% higher versus 2024. Over the first nine months of 2025, the company has delivered 148 aircraft, including 102 business jets, 46 airliners, and five military aircraft, the latter of which included four A-29 Super Tucano trainers.
“Embraer’s continued delivery strength reflects the unwavering demand for our industry-leading business jets and the trust our customers place in our brand,” Embraer Executive Jets president and CEO Michael Amalfitano told AIN. "With 41 executive jets delivered in the third quarter—led by the Phenom 300E, the world’s best-selling light jet for 13 consecutive years—we are not only sustaining momentum but accelerating growth. We’re also seeing a notable rise in demand for Praetors from corporate flight departments, underscoring their confidence in our engineering excellence and relentless focus on innovation and efficiency.”
