Embraer returns to NBAA-BACE enjoying a strong sales year and continued growth, including a nearly 50% jump in third-quarter business jet deliveries in the third quarter.
In the three months ending September 30, the company delivered 41 executive jets and 16 commercial jetliners, an overall increase of 33% year over year. This compares with 28 executive jets and 15 of its airliners a year ago.
Praetor deliveries in the quarter were notably up, reaching 19. This compares with nine in the same period of 2023. Phenom deliveries improved to 22, compared with 19 a year ago.
For the first nine months, the company has delivered 86 business jets and 42 airliners, up from 66 and 39, respectively a year ago.&nbsp;
The backlog of Embraer's Executive Jets business unit reached $4.4 billion during the third quarter, a 3% increase from the same quarter last year but a 4% decrease from the second quarter of 2024.
Embraer reported the results as it prepared to arrive at BACE this week, where it is showcasing&nbsp;its Phenom 100, Phenom 300E, and Praetor 600 business jets.&nbsp;The Brazilian airframer is also touting the expansion of its owned MRO service center network.
As Embraer picks up the pace with business jet deliveries, the company remains focused on sustainability efforts. It flew to NBAA-BACE on sustainable aviation fuel and has committed to NBAA’s “Green Pledge,” which includes reducing printed materials and committing to “sustainable practices” at industry events.
Michael Amalfitano,&nbsp;president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, was to participate at the NBAA-GAMA “Climbing Fast” media breakfast on Tuesday, discussing the industry’s mission to reach net zero aviation.
Amalfitano recently spoke about the industry’s challenges in the post-Covid economy <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/general-aviation/2024-09-25/jetnet-summit-touts-leadership-not-fairy-dust">at the JetNet IQ Summit in New York last month</a>.&nbsp;“The supply chain is fractured in many ways," he said. "That talent pool we lost takes time to recover."
"You’ve got to go to the supplier. We have hundreds of people sitting with suppliers and addressing problems firsthand and resolving it in their space as partners so they can ramp up more quickly to deliver results," Amalfitano said. "You gotta do the work; it’s not just fairy dust."
According to Amalfitano,&nbsp;younger people are beginning to take an interest in the industry. He noted that creating opportunities for advancement and fair compensation is key.
"The issue is not about simply hiring. It’s about training and investing dollars in the people so they can become master craftsmen and -women," he said. "What happened during the pandemic is we lost the best talent in every aspect of aerospace. You have to hire the people and get them motivated, but you have to invest dollars to train them."
