The Brazilian manufacturer’s earnings returned to green numbers after a loss of USD 30.2 million and USD 31.7 million in the third and first quarters, respectively, interrupted by a rebound of USD 74.2 million between April and June 2022.
Embraer, based in the state of São Paulo (southeast), delivered between October and last December 80 jets: 30 commercial and 50 executive aircraft.
For the full year, deliveries totaled 159, an increase of 12.7% over 2021, despite “significant supply chain constraints” affecting the entire aviation sector, the company detailed in a statement.
By 2023, Embraer expects to deliver at least 65 commercial and 120 executive aircraft, reported AFP.
