Embraer posts record third-quarter deliveries, full-year targets in reach

Embraer delivered 66 aircraft between July and September 2026, the highest third-quarter total in its history and 6% more than the same period a year earlier. It was also 2% above the second quarter of 2026.

Commercial aircraft made up 22 of the deliveries: 11 E175s and 11 jets from the E2 family, split between four E190-E2s and seven E195-E2s. That is 10% more than the 20 commercial aircraft handed over in each of the second quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025.

Through nine months, Embraer has delivered 52 commercial aircraft against a full-year target of 80 to 85. Meeting that range requires 28 to 33 more deliveries in the fourth quarter. The company delivered 32 commercial aircraft in the final quarter of 2025, a pace that would put it near the top of this year's range.

Executive aviation accounted for 41 business jets in the quarter, level with the third quarter of 2025 but four fewer than the second quarter. Embraer said the number reflects two years of work to spread production more evenly across the year and reduce the share of deliveries concentrated in the second half.

The manufacturer has delivered 115 executive jets so far in 2026. It needs a further 45 to 55 in the fourth quarter to reach a full-year target of 160 to 170. It delivered 53 business jets in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Across both divisions, Embraer has delivered 167 aircraft this year.
