Embraer delivered 41 business jets in the third quarter of 2026, matching the same period a year earlier as the Brazilian airframer posted its strongest third-quarter delivery performance on record. Total quarterly deliveries rose to 66 aircraft, supported by 22 commercial aircraft and three defence aircraft.
The executive aviation division’s steady pace came as Embraer continued to smooth production across the year through a leveling programme introduced over the past two years. That approach has reduced the usual concentration of business-jet handovers in the second half, helping keep output more even across quarters.
The quarter lifted executive aviation deliveries to 115 aircraft in the first nine months of the year, leaving Embraer on track to meet its full-year target of 160 to 170 business jets. Commercial aviation contributed 22 aircraft in the period, while the defence unit added three, underlining broader momentum across the group’s delivery portfolio.
