Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has released its performance figures for the first quarter of 2023, showing it delivered a total of 15 jets to the end of March.

Of the 15 deliveries, seven were commercial aircraft and eight were executive jets (six light and two large).

This total volume represents 7% growth compared to the same period of the previous year. As of March 31, the firm order backlog totaled USD 17.4 billion.

Success of the Phenom 300


This first quarter was marked by the confirmation that for the 11th consecutive year, Embraer’s Phenom 300 series remains the best-selling light jet in the world, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).

The model met with marked success last year, and future projections for deliveries and sales remain healthy.
