Embraer’s firm-order backlog reached a record US$35.7 billion in the third quarter of 2026, up 3% from the previous quarter and 14% year on year. The increase spanned its commercial aviation, executive aviation, defence and security, and services businesses, while deliveries rose to 66 aircraft during the quarter and 175 in the first nine months, 14% above the year-earlier period.
Commercial Aviation accounted for US$15.8 billion of the backlog, up 5% quarter on quarter and 4% year on year. Embraer secured 36 firm orders and 30 purchase rights or options for the E2 family during the quarter, taking year-to-date firm E2 orders to 72. The activity included business associated with Abra Group, Binter, Luxair and ANA Holdings.
Executive Aviation also set a record, reaching US$8.2 billion, up 5% from the second quarter and 12% year on year. The division linked part of the performance to certification of the Phenom 300EV in Brazil, the United States and Europe.
Defence & Security reached US$6.1 billion, 56% above the year-earlier level, supported mainly by Colombia’s order for two KC-390 Millennium aircraft. Services & Support rose 14% year on year to a record US$5.6 billion, supported by new long-term service contracts across Embraer’s operating segments.
