Executive Aviation delivered 45 aircraft, compared to 29 in the first quarter and 38 in the second quarter of 2025.

Through the first half of 2026, Embraer delivered 109 aircraft, up from 91 during the same period last year. There were no Defense & Security deliveries during the quarter. Embraer said it continues to expect 80 to 85 commercial aircraft deliveries and 160 to 170 executive aircraft deliveries for the year.
