Embraer Soars with 41 Business Jet Deliveries in Q3
Manufacturer is on track to meet its forecast total
Embraer's executive jet product line up
Embraer delivered 41 executive jets in the third quarter, split nearly evenly between its light and midsize offerings.

Embraer delivered 41 business jets in the just completed third quarter, the Brazilian airframer reported today. Its 66 total aircraft deliveries in the quarter—including commercial and military aircraft—marked the best third-quarter delivery performance in the company’s history.

The business jet mix included 22 light jets (two Phenom 100s and 20 Phenom 300s) and 19 Praetors (nine midsize Model 500s and 10 super-midsize Model 600s).

According to the company, the 41 executive jet deliveries—unchanged from third-quarter 2025—reflect the progress of its production-leveling program instituted over the past two years, which has gradually reduced the concentration of deliveries in the second half of the year. In years past, the manufacturer would concentrate a large percentage of its annual deliveries in the fourth quarter.

The third-quarter total also brings the OEM’s executive jet division to 115 deliveries year to date, well on its way towards meeting its 160- to 170-aircraft forecast.

“Our consistent third-quarter delivery performance reflects continued growth in the business aviation market and strong execution of our strategy,” Embraer Executive Jets president and CEO Michael Amalfitano told AIN. “Global demand for our industry-leading products remains robust across corporate, high-net-worth, and fractional customers, reinforcing confidence in our brand. We remain focused on operational excellence, production discipline, and an outstanding customer experience as we strengthen our market leadership and drive long-term profitable growth.”
