Embraer Plans for Drop in E-Jet Deliveries in 2018
Company expects to reduce production to between 85 and 95 due to E2 transition

Embraer projects it will deliver between 85 and 95 E-Jets this year, down from the 101 it shipped in 2017, due to what Embraer CFO Jose Filippo characterized as typically slower production resulting from the transition to a new aircraft model. Speaking during the company’s fourth quarter 2017 earnings call Thursday, Filippo reported that Embraer expects lower delivery totals this year and in 2019, followed by a return to historical trends once it executes gradual acceleration of E2 production.
