Embraer delivers record 66 aircraft in Q3, driven by military sales

Based on · First reported 2 Oct 2026

Embraer delivered 66 aircraft in the third quarter, surpassing its previous record of 65 deliveries. The record was helped by three military aircraft deliveries, including two A-29 Super Tucano fighter jets to Paraguay and one KC-390 Millennium cargo plane to Uzbekistan. Commercial deliveries rose to 22, while the business aviation segment supplied 41 aircraft.
The increase in commercial deliveries added two units compared with the prior quarter and the same period in 2025, indicating growth in that market segment. Although business aviation deliveries fell by four units from the previous quarter, they remained stable relative to the same quarter last year, showing consistent demand in the executive market.
Embraer projects delivering 80 to 85 commercial aircraft and 160 to 170 executive aircraft in the upcoming period.
