While the number of business jets that Embraer delivered last year (117) is three fewer than in 2015, it delivered more higher-value “large” aircraft in 2016. Last year’s tally includes 73 Phenom light jets and 44 Legacy and Lineage large jets versus 82 Phenoms and 38 large jets in 2015. According to Embraer, these numbers are aligned with its business jet shipment estimates reported early last year: 70 to 80 light jets and 35 to 45 large jets.

Keeping with historical trends, the fourth quarter remained the strongest for Embraer Executive Jets, which delivered 43 aircraft, two fewer than in the same period in 2015. The company handed over 25 Phenom 300s, six Legacy 450s, nine Legacy 500s, one Legacy 650 and two Lineage 1000Es in the fourth quarter, compared with two Phenom 100s, 23 Phenom 300s, three Legacy 450s, 12 Legacy 500s, three Legacy 650s and two Lineage 1000Es in the same period of 2015.

As of December 31, Embraer’s backlog for both executive and commercial aircraft stood at $19.6 billion.
