Embraer’s deliveries were flat at 73 through the first six months of the year as growth in executive jet shipments offset a dip in commercial deliveries, the Brazilian airframer announced Tuesday morning. Commercial deliveries slid by five units in the first half, led by fewer E190 shipments (five in the first six months of 2018, compared with one so far this year). In addition, Embraer has delivered one fewer E190-E2 in the second half, for a total of two in the first six months, and no E170s (there was one in the first half of 2018).
