With Embraer’s aircraft backlog standing at an all-time high, the Brazilian OEM is confident that measures introduced to increase production capacity over the last three years will continue to prove profitable. Indeed, with Embraer having increased its revenues by an average of $1 billion a year during this time frame, “this is based on more deliveries and more production of aircraft, despite all the difficulties we have seen in the supply chain,” confirmed president and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto.
Speaking at a recent media day in São Paulo, Brazil, Gomes Neto explained his expectation for “substantial midterm growth,” which he believes will propel Embraer toward a worth of double-digit billions before 2030. With a backlog “very well balanced” across its business units—totaling $32 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026, not including the UAE’s recent 10 firm KC-390 or Azorra’s additional 15 E2 aircraft—“this backlog gives us confidence that we are on the right path for sustainable growth,” he suggested. About $15 billion of this backlog represents the E-Jet family.
