Embraer ended the second quarter of 2026 with a backlog valued at US$34.5 billion, marking the seventh consecutive quarter in which the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer set a new record.

The value of contracted but not yet delivered products and services increased by 7% compared with the first quarter of this year and by 16% compared with the same period in 2025. Growth was recorded across all of the company’s main business segments.

Commercial Aviation accounted for the largest share of the total backlog, reaching US$15.1 billion, 15% more than a year earlier. The result was supported by Azorra’s new order for 15 E195-E2 aircraft, which pushed the E2 programme beyond the milestone of 500 firm orders from customers on every continent.

During the Farnborough Airshow, Embraer also disclosed that Japan’s Fuji Dream Airlines was the customer behind an order for two E175 aircraft. The jets had already been included in the backlog, but the identity of the buyer had not previously been revealed.

The Commercial Aviation book-to-bill ratio stood at 1.8 over the past 12 months. A figure above one indicates that Embraer received more new orders than the number of aircraft it delivered during the period.

The Executive Aviation backlog increased to US$7.8 billion, 5% more than in the second quarter of last year. Embraer expects the segment’s position to strengthen further following the certification of the new Praetor 600E and Praetor 500E models.

Both business jets, introduced in 2026, received certification from Brazil’s ANAC, the US Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Executive Aviation recorded a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1.

The strongest year-on-year growth was recorded in the Defense & Security segment. Its backlog rose by 42% to US$6.1 billion, primarily as a result of an agreement with the United Arab Emirates for C-390 Millennium transport aircraft.

The agreement includes 10 firm orders and options for a further 10 aircraft. It represents the largest international C-390 order placed by a single country to date and marks the programme’s first major entry into the Middle East market. Defense & Security achieved a book-to-bill ratio of 2.6.

The Services & Support business unit also reached a record backlog, increasing by 12% to US$5.5 billion.

During the quarter, Embraer signed a long-term support agreement with Canadian carrier Jazz Aviation, which became the first customer in Canada to join Embraer’s Collaborative Inventory Planning programme. A new support agreement was also signed for the Brazilian Air Force’s KC-390 Millennium fleet, covering aircraft already in service as well as future deliveries.

The Services & Support segment recorded a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 over the past 12 months.

Embraer operates in the commercial, executive, defence and agricultural aviation segments and also provides maintenance and customer support services. Since its establishment in 1969, the company has delivered more than 9,000 aircraft.
