In a July 18 news release, Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer announced the delivery of 47 aircraft in the second quarter—an 88 percent increase compared to the previous quarter’s 25 deliveries.
According to the manufacturer, from April to June, 19 commercial aircraft, 27 executive jets, and one defense C-390 Millenium jet were delivered. The company also reports an order backlog valued at $21.1 billion, which is 20 percent higher than the same period last year and the highest in the past seven years of the company’s history.
Embraer states that the most significant growth occurred in the Commercial Aviation division while the largest decrease was in the Defense and Security division. The company has seen strong demand for its E2 jets with Mexico’s state-owned airline, Mexicana de Aviacion, placing an order for 20 of these aircraft, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2025.
