Covid Takes Toll on Embraer Q2 Shipments
Embraer delivered 13 executive jets in the second quarter of 2020, down from 25 in the same period a year ago.
Embraer's business jet deliveries sagged in the first half of 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic took its toll on the industry. The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer saw shipments of its light jets, which includes the Phenom 300E, nearly halve year-over-year, to 14 units. Deliveries of its larger Legacy and Praetor twinjets were slightly down—eight deliveries in the first half versus nine in the same period last year. (Photo: Embraer)

Embraer's executive jet deliveries dropped by nearly half to 13 shipments in the second quarter while its commercial aircraft shipments fell precipitously to just four units, the Brazilian manufacturer reported Monday morning. The company cited the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic for the diminished results, which have been largely expected throughout the industry as manufacturers have struggled to ship aircraft across borders and meet with prospective clients to finalize sales.
