Embraer Posts Best Third Quarter Ever With 66 Deliveries

Overview

• Embraer reported on Friday that it delivered 66 aircraft in the third quarter of 2026, which the company called its strongest third‑quarter performance.
• The quarter's mix was 22 commercial jets, 41 executive jets and three defense aircraft, with commercial deliveries including 11 E175s and 11 E2‑family jets and defense deliveries comprising two A‑29 Super Tucanos and one KC‑390 Millennium.
• Through the first nine months of 2026 Embraer has delivered 175 aircraft, a 14% increase versus the same period in 2025, and the company reiterated 2026 guidance of 80–85 commercial and 160–170 executive aircraft.
• Industry sources reported that Airbus delivered roughly 72 jets in September and says it remains on track for about 870 jets this year, though the company will publish an official industrial bulletin on October 8 and suppliers' shortages remain a risk to monthly pacing.
• Embraer credits production‑leveling initiatives for the gains and customers benefit from steady handovers of completed planes, but continued engine and parts shortages could slow future deliveries so market participants should watch upcoming monthly reports and supplier updates.
