Embraer’s commercial aviation division announced a record backlog of US$13.1 billion in Q2 of 2025, nearing its previous record of US$13.4 billion set in Q4 of 2017. 

The backlog rose by 31% compared to Q1 of 2025 and by 16% from Q2 of 2024. In addition to strong sales, the division marked a significant achievement, selling 1,000 E175 units since its launch in 2005.

At the same time, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) signed a deal to purchase 45 E195-E2 aircraft, with the right to buy 10 additional units. According to Embraer, this was SAS’s largest direct jet order from a manufacturer in the last 30 years. 

In Q2 of 2025, the business unit delivered 19 new aircraft, matching the number delivered during the same period last year. Overall, Embraer’s Commercial Aviation division delivered 26 aircraft in the first half of 2025, achieving 32% of its full-year delivery target midpoint (77 to 85 jets). 

The models delivered during this period included the E175 to Republic Airlines, SkyWest, and Horizon Air, the E190-E2 to Azorra, and the E195-E2 to Aercap, Azorra, Mexicana, Royal Jordania, Binter, and ICBC.

Embraer’s executive aviation division announced a backlog of US$7.4 billion in Q2 of 2025, which is a 62% increase compared to the same period last year, although it shows a slight 2% decrease from the previous quarter. 

During this time, the company delivered 38 jets, which is a 41% increase from the 27 jets delivered in Q2 of 2024. 

In the first half of 2025, executive aviation deliveries reached a total of 61 aircraft, accounting for 41% of the company’s full-year goal of delivering between 145 and 155 jets.  

Defense and security 

In the defense and security sector, the backlog reached US$4.3 billion in Q2 of 2025, which is a 3% increase from the previous quarter and double the amount from a year earlier. During this time, the business unit provided four A-29 Super Tucano aircraft to the Paraguayan Air Force. 

Key highlights for the division include Lithuania’s announcement that the C-390 Millennium has been chosen to improve the country’s airlifting capabilities, along with Portugal’s choice to purchase a sixth KC-390 Millennium aircraft. 

Additionally, Embraer and the Portuguese Air Force plan to add 10 purchase options to their existing contract for possible future acquisitions by European countries or NATO members. 

Embraer added that the C-390 Millennium selection by Sweden and Slovakia, the additional order from Portugal, and the A-29 Super Tucano for Panama are not included in the backlog, since the contracts have not yet been finalized.
