Embraer delivers 71 jets in fourth quarter

Embraer delivered 71 jets in Q4 2020, bringing the number of aircraft it delivered in the full year to 130, as the Brazilian airframer continued feeling the effect of the coronavirus. By comparison, the company handed over 81 jets in Q4 2019, and 198 aircraft in that year. Of the 71 aircraft delivered in the three months ended in December, 28 were commercial aircraft and 43 were executive jets, the company, headquartered in Sao Jose dos Campos, says on 12 February. “Although deliveries accelerated during the fourth quarter of 2020 relative to the three previous quarters, they were heavily impacted, mostly in commercial aviation, due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” Embraer says.<br/>
