SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Oct. 21, 2025 — Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer has announced a record-breaking $31.3 billion order backlog at the close of the third quarter, describing the figure as an “unprecedented high.” The milestone represents a 38% increase compared to the same period in 2024 and underscores robust demand across its aviation portfolio.
Segment Growth and Key Orders
The backlog was fueled by significant growth in both commercial and executive aviation:
- Commercial aviation backlog reached $15.2 billion, the highest in nine years.
- Executive aviation rose by 65% year-on-year, totaling $7.3 billion.
Major contributors included:
- Avelo Airlines, which ordered 50 E195-E2 jets in September, with purchase rights for 50 more.
- LATAM Group, which committed to 24 E195-E2s, with options for an additional 50.
- Virgin Australia, which received its first E2 delivery, marking the aircraft’s entry into the Australian market.
Embraer also celebrated the delivery of its 2,000th business jet, a milestone for its executive segment.
Delivery Performance and Market Expansion
In Q3 2025, Embraer delivered 62 aircraft, a 5% increase from the same quarter last year. These included:
- Four E175s to American Airlines
- Three E175s to Republic Airlines
The company’s defense and services divisions also contributed to the backlog, with new contracts and sustained support demand.
Strategic Outlook
Embraer’s performance reflects a diversified global customer base and growing interest in fuel-efficient regional jets. Analysts note that the E-Jet E2 family continues to gain traction among carriers seeking lower operating costs and improved environmental performance.
The company’s ability to navigate global supply chain challenges and capitalize on regional fleet renewal initiatives has positioned it as a key player in the mid-size aircraft market.
Summary: Embraer’s $31.3 billion order backlog sets a new company record, driven by strong commercial and executive jet sales. The 38% year-on-year growth highlights the manufacturer’s expanding global footprint and rising demand for efficient aircraft solutions.
