Deliveries of Embraer’s large-cabin business jets soared 33 percent year-over-year in the third quarter, but overall shipments fell by five jets in the comparable periods. The 25 business aircraft that the company handed over to customers in the quarter included 13 light jets (one Phenom 100E and 12 Phenom 300s) and 12 large jets (six Legacy 450s, four Legacy 500s and two Legacy 650s) versus 30 aircraft last year; 21 light jets (three Phenom 100Es and 18 Phenom 300s) and nine large jets (three Legacy 500s and six Legacy 650s).
Year-to-date deliveries at the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer are down by just one aircraft from the first three quarters of last year, though large-jet volume has risen 44 percent. In the recent first nine months it shipped 74 business aircraft, including 48 light jets and 26 large jets. Embraer delivered only 57 light jets and 18 large jets in the same span last year.
As of September 30, Embraer’s firm order backlog, which includes airliners, business jets and military aircraft, was $21.4 billion, down from $22.5 billion posted at the end of last year.
