Embraer Sees Brighter Skies Ahead

While it has certainly felt the same pressures as its competition, Embraer expects a change in the bizjet market to come soon.

Embraer anticipates a recovery in the business airplane market in the later part of the year and plans to deliver 118 aircraft by year-end. The Brazilian manufacturer reports that the market for larger aircraft has remained strong compared to that for smaller jets.

While it has certainly felt the same pressures as its competition, Embraer expects a change in the bizjet market to come soon. Though the manufacturer saw its first-half business jet deliveries slashed nearly in half from 60 in 2010 to just 31 this year, it still expects to hand over 118 aircraft (100 Phenom 100/300s and 18 Legacy 600/650s and Lineage 1000s) by the end of the year, less than the 145 it finished with in 2010, but nearly the same total as 2009.

“We believe 2011 was the trough, and we really believe and really hope that we’ve reached the bottom and that we’ll start seeing a recovery for the balance of the year and, of course, into 2012,” said Ernest Edwards, Embraer’s recently promoted president of the executive jets division.
