Embraer is pushing the C-390 line toward higher output as new orders and near-term deliveries tighten the programme’s schedule. The manufacturer is targeting more than 10 aircraft a year by 2030, while current activity includes first flights for South Korea and delivery plans for Uzbekistan and the Czech Republic this year.
That ramp-up matters because the backlog is spreading across NATO and Asian operators, with Greece now adding another potential customer after funding approval for three aircraft. The production question is shifting from demand creation to industrial cadence, supply chain stability, and delivery sequencing.
For operators waiting on slots, the next 12 months will show whether Embraer can convert momentum into repeatable throughput.
