In 9M26, Embraer delivered a total of 175 aircraft, 14% more than the 153 aircraft delivered in 9M25, supported by continued progress in the company’s production levelling initiatives.

Commercial Aviation delivered 22 new aircraft during 3Q26, including 11 E175 and 11 aircraft from the E2 family. The business unit’s volume increased 10% QoQ and yoy versus the 20 aircraft delivered in both comps.

Executive Aviation delivered 41 new business jets during the quarter, flat yoy, reflecting the progress of the production levelling programme over the past 2 years, which has gradually reduced the concentration of deliveries in the second semester.
