Regional aircraft OEM Embraer has registered a US$29.7 billion backlog in the second quarter of 2025 (2Q25) – the highest level ever recorded by the company.

Embraer delivered 61 aircraft in 2Q25 across all its business units. The result reflects a 30% increase compared to the second quarter of last year (2Q24), when 47 jets were delivered, and more than twice the number of aircraft (30) recorded in the first quarter of 2025 (1Q25).

Commercial Aviation reported an 8-year backlog record of US$13.1 billion in 2Q25. (The previous record for the division was US$13.4 billion in 4Q17.) The backlog increased 31% compared to 1Q25 and 16% versus 2Q24. Alongside its strong sales performance, the business unit celebrated an important milestone – 1,000 E175 units sold since its 2005 launch.

During the quarter, Embraer received a firm order from SkyWest for 60 E175 aircraft with purchase rights for 50 additional units. Meanwhile, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) entered into an agreement to acquire 45 E195-E2 aircraft, with purchase rights for 10 additional units – the largest SAS jet order direct from a manufacturer over the past 30 years. The division book-to-bill ratio reached 1.8x over the past 12 months.

In 2Q25, the business unit delivered 19 new aircraft, exactly in line with the number of aircraft delivered in 2Q24. Consequently, in the 1H25, deliveries totalled 26 aircraft and 32% of the midpoint of the full year guidance (between 77 and 85 in 2025), 3 percentage points short of the average 35% level for the period recorded over the past 5 years.

The models delivered during the period were the E175 to Republic Airlines (5), SkyWest (2) and Horizon Air (2), the E190-E2 to Azorra (1), and the E195-E2 to Aercap (3), Azorra (2), Mexicana (1), Royal Jordania (1), Binter (1) and ICBC (1).
