Embraer delivered 44 aircraft in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 47% increase from 30 jets handed over in the same period of 2025. The Brazilian manufacturer announced the figures on April 2 in a securities filing, with gains across its commercial, executive, and defense segments.
Commercial aviation saw 10 deliveries, up 43% from seven the previous year. Those included six E175s, one E190-E2, and three E195-E2s. Executive aviation contributed 29 jets, a 26% rise from 23, broken down as 15 Phenom 300s, one Phenom 100, nine Praetor 500s, and four Praetor 600s.
In defense and security, Embraer delivered five aircraft: one KC-390 Millennium and four A-29 Super Tucanos, compared to zero in Q1 2025. The results align with the company’s 2026 outlook of 80 to 85 commercial aircraft and 160 to 170 executive jets, pointing to about 6% growth at the midpoint for both areas.
