Embraer, a leading aerospace company, reported a substantial rise in aircraft deliveries for the first quarter of 2026, with 44 units delivered—a 47% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth is attributed to the company's production levelling initiatives, which have enhanced output efficiency.

In the Commercial Aviation sector, Embraer delivered 10 new commercial jets, including three E195-E2 models, the largest aircraft in its current production line. This marks a 43% increase from the seven aircraft delivered in the first quarter of 2025. The Executive Aviation division also saw a rise, delivering 29 jets, up 26% from the previous year's 23 aircraft. The increase in deliveries of both light and midsize jets reflects strong demand in this segment.

The Defence & Security unit delivered five aircraft, including one KC-390 Millennium and four A-29 Super Tucano units, compared to no deliveries in the same quarter last year. This marks a significant achievement for the company in this sector.

Looking ahead, Embraer estimates delivering between 80 and 85 aircraft in Commercial Aviation and between 160 and 170 in Executive Aviation for 2026, with a projected midpoint increase of 6% year-on-year for both sectors. This forecast underscores Embraer's confidence in continued demand and production capabilities
