Embraer’s Commercial Aviation division has reported an eight-year backlog record of USD 13.1 billion in the second quarter of 2025 (2Q25), an increase of 31% from 1Q25 and 16% compared to 2Q24.
The division’s book-to-bill ratio reached 1.8x over the past 12 months, indicating robust sales performance. Embraer has now sold more than 1,000 E175 aircraft since its introduction in 2005.
The Brazilian airframer secured substantial new orders during the period, including SkyWest’s firm order for 60 E175s, with purchase rights for an additional 50 units.
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) also entered into an agreement to acquire 45 E195-E2 aircraft, along with purchase rights for 10 more. This order is the airline’s largest direct jet acquisition from a manufacturer in the past 30 years.
Embraer delivered 19 new commercial aircraft in 2Q25, matching the number of aircraft delivered in 2Q24.
For the first half of 2025 (1H25), total deliveries for the division reached 26 aircraft, accounting for 32% of the midpoint of Embraer’s full-year guidance for commercial aircraft deliveries.
Historically, over the last five years, Embraer has delivered, on average, 35% of its full-year commercial aircraft guidance by the end of the first half. The 32% achieved in 1H25 is slightly lower than its usual pace for the first six months, by three percentage points.
Aircraft models delivered during the quarter included five E175s to Republic Airlines and two to SkyWest and Horizon Air, respectively. One E190-E2 was delivered to Azorra.
Three E195-E2 aircraft were delivered to Aercap and two to Azorra, with Mexicana, Royal Jordanian, Binter and ICBC each receiving one.
“Looking forward, we expect our production levelling efforts to produce more tangible results in the 2H of the year, and from the start of 2026,” said the company in a statement.
