Embraer Ends 2025 With Record Deliveries as Backlog Stays Strong

Embraer ended 2025 the way manufacturers like to finish a year: with aircraft moving out the gate.

The Brazilian planemaker delivered 91 aircraft in the fourth quarter, up from 62 in the third quarter and 75 a year earlier. It capped a year in which Embraer shares rose about 65% and the production tempo improved.

Key Points

• Fourth-quarter deliveries rose to 91 aircraft as output accelerated.
• Business jets led volumes, while the E195-E2 anchored commercial shipments.
• A $31.3 billion backlog keeps demand strong and execution in the spotlight.

The quarterly total combined 32 commercial jets, 53 executive jets and six defense aircraft. On the airline side, 15 of the commercial deliveries were E195-E2s, the largest aircraft in Embraer’s current E-Jet family.

In defense, Embraer delivered two KC-390 Millennium military transports and four A-29 Super Tucano light attack and trainer aircraft.

For the full year, Embraer delivered 244 aircraft, up from 206 in 2024. Commercial aviation contributed 78 jets, inside the company’s 77–85 guidance range.

Executive aviation delivered 155 jets, hitting the top end of the 145–155 target, a sign that corporate and private demand stayed firm even with high global interest rates.

The model mix clarifies where the growth is concentrated. In 2025, Embraer delivered 34 E175s, six E190-E2s and 38 E195-E2s. In business aviation, it delivered 72 Phenom 300s, 39 Praetor 500s and 30 Praetor 600s.

In the fourth quarter alone, 23 of the deliveries were Phenom 300s, which Embraer calls the fastest light jet in production and a market leader for 13 consecutive years.

Demand, at least on paper, is not the binding constraint. Embraer reported a record firm order backlog of $31.3 billion at the end of the third quarter, and analysts have pointed to manufacturing investments as a reason deliveries are trending higher.

The company highlighted the fourth-quarter milestone on its own social channels, including X and Facebook, while customers amplified operational milestones such as Porter Airlines receiving its 50th E195-E2 in December.
