Embraer reports 44 aircraft delivered in the first quarter, up 47% year-on-year

São Paulo (SP), Brazil April 2, 2026

Embraer, a global leader in the aerospace industry, delivered 44 aircraft in 1Q26. This result represents an improvement of 47% year-on-year (yoy) versus 30 jets delivered in 1Q25, supported by progress in the company's production leveling initiatives.

Commercial Aviation delivered 10 new commercial jets — 3 of which were E195-E2 models, Embraer's largest aircraft currently in production in the segment — during 1Q26. The business unit's volume increased 43% in comparison with 1Q25, when it delivered 7 aircraft.

Executive Aviation delivered 29 jets during the quarter, up 26% when compared to 1Q25, when 23 aircraft were delivered. Higher deliveries of both light and midsize jets propped the strong performance, and reflected continued solid demand across the segment.

In Defense & Security, the company delivered 1 unit of its multi-mission military transport aircraft, the KC-390 Millennium, and 4 A-29 Super Tucano, for a total of 5 aircraft in the quarter, compared with no deliveries in the same period of the previous year.

Embraer estimates aircraft deliveries between 80 and 85 in Commercial Aviation in 2026 (midpoint up 6% yoy), and between 160 to 170 in Executive Aviation (midpoint up 6% yoy).
