SAO PAULO – Embraer delivered 66 aircraft in the third quarter, its best three-month delivery performance ever, the Brazilian aerospace company said Friday.

Deliveries rose 2% from the second quarter and 6% from a year earlier, Embraer said.

In the first nine months of 2026, the company delivered 175 aircraft, up 14% from 153 in the same period last year, supported by progress in its production leveling initiatives.

Commercial Aviation delivered 22 aircraft in the quarter, comprising 11 E175s and 11 E2-family aircraft, up 10% from both the previous quarter and a year earlier.

Executive Aviation delivered 41 business jets, unchanged from a year earlier, while Defense & Security delivered one KC-390 Millennium military transport aircraft and two A-29 Super Tucanos.

Embraer expects to deliver 80 to 85 commercial aircraft and up to 170 business jets this year.

In July, Embraer reported a record $34.5 billion backlog in the second quarter, up 7% from the previous period and 16% from a year earlier, marking its seventh consecutive quarterly increase.

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brazil – Embraer’s E-Jet program has entered the ranks of the world’s three largest commercial jet families with the delivery of its 2,000th aircraft, the company said Wednesday.

The E-Jet family is behind only the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families in terms of aircraft delivered. The milestone aircraft, an E195-E2, was delivered to Azul Linhas Aéreas, Brazil’s largest airline by number of destinations served.

Since entering service in 2004, the E-Jets family has established a global presence, serving more than 90 airlines worldwide. The fleet has accumulated about 48 million flight hours and carried more than 2.85 billion passengers worldwide.

“The delivery of the 2,000th E-Jet is an extraordinary milestone for Embraer and for the global aviation transport industry,” Arjan Meijer, president and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, said in a statement.

“As one of the world’s three most successful commercial jet programs, the E-Jets family has played a vital role in connecting communities, opening new markets, and creating sustainable growth opportunities for airlines,” Meijer added.

Azul has operated more than 140 E-Jets since beginning operations in 2008 and was the launch customer for the E195-E2, taking delivery of its first aircraft in 2019.

The 2,000th E-Jet also marks Azul’s 50th E2 aircraft, Embraer said.

The E-Jet family comprises the first-generation E170, E175, E190 and E195, as well as the second-generation E190-E2 and E195-E2.

The program has enabled Embraer to expand beyond its traditional regional aviation market and establish a strong position in the global small narrowbody segment.
