Embraer delivers record 66 aircraft in third quarter

Embraer reported the delivery of 66 aircraft in the third quarter of 2026, marking the best third-quarter performance in the company's history. Total deliveries rose 2% compared with the previous quarter and increased 6% year on year.

According to a market filing released on Friday, October 2, 2026, the Brazilian manufacturer delivered 175 aircraft during the first nine months of the year. That represents a 14% increase compared with the 153 aircraft delivered during the same period of the previous year. Embraer attributed the growth to ongoing progress in production-leveling initiatives.

Commercial Aviation delivered 22 aircraft during the quarter, comprising 11 E175 jets and 11 from the E2 family. Deliveries in this division rose 10% both quarter on quarter and year on year from 20 jets. Executive Aviation delivered 41 jets, holding steady year on year as a two-year production leveling effort gradually reduced the concentration of shipments in the second half of the year. In Defense and Security, Embraer delivered one KC-390 Millennium multi-mission military transport plane and two A-29 Super Tucanos, totaling three aircraft compared with one in the third quarter of the previous year.

For full-year 2026, Embraer maintained its guidance to deliver between 80 and 85 aircraft in Commercial Aviation and between 160 and 170 aircraft in Executive Aviation.
