Embraer delivers 41 business jets in Q3, keeping 2026 target in reach

Embraer handed over 41 executive jets in the third quarter of 2026, part of a 66-aircraft company total that it called its best third-quarter delivery result. Year-to-date business jet deliveries reached 115, tracking toward a 160-to-170 aircraft forecast.

• 41 business jets delivered in Q3 2026
• 22 light jets: 2 Phenom 100s and 20 Phenom 300s
• 19 Praetors: 9 Praetor 500s and 10 Praetor 600s
• 115 executive jets delivered year to date
• 2026 forecast: 160 to 170 executive jets

Embraer reported 41 business jet deliveries for the third quarter, matching its Q3 2025 executive-jet total. The mix was almost balanced between light Phenoms and midsize or super-midsize Praetors, showing demand across the line rather than one hot model carrying the quarter.

The wider company delivered 66 aircraft in the quarter across business, commercial and military programs. For executive jets, the year-to-date count reached 115, leaving Embraer needing 45 to 55 more aircraft in the fourth quarter to meet its 160-to-170 jet guidance.

That matters because Embraer has been trying to smooth production so fewer deliveries pile up at year-end. A steady Q3 supports that plan, and the Phenom 300 remains one of the best-known light jets in private aviation while the Praetor family gives Embraer a stronger hand higher up the market.
