Embraer hits 2024 expectations with 206 aircraft delivered
January 9, 2025
Business appears to be booming for Embraer, which has achieved its yearly aircraft delivery estimates despite supply chain challenges, while recording year-on-year growth of 14% and 13% in its commercial and executive business units respectively.
Successfully meeting its business sector delivery estimates across executive and commercial aviation, with an additional two C-390 Millennium units supporting its Defense & Security sector, Embraer has had a good year for handing over new aircraft – despite what executive vice president and chief financial officer Antonio Carlos Garcia previously recognised as “significant supply chain delays, mainly in the E2 assembly line”.
Commercial Aviation delivered 73 units across the year, including 31 in the last three months; within its original 72-80 estimate and at the top end of its updated guidance of 70-73, revealed in November 2024. Describing how challenges with “a specific group of components, mainly engines and structural parts” were negatively affecting Embraer’s supply chain, he added that a series of “structured initiatives in place” were helping to offset delays.
Executive Aviation – a market area Garcia predicted in November 2023 Embraer would see “normalising but at high levels” – also performed well during the final quarter of 2024, contributing 44 deliveries to an annual total of 130 (mid-point of its estimate for 125-135).
