Embraer’s deliveries slow to 14 aircraft in Q1

Embraer’s aircraft deliveries tumbled to 14 units in Q1 2022, down significantly from both the previous quarter and the same period in 2021. The 14 deliveries included six commercial aircraft (four E175s and two E195-E2s) and eight executive jets (one Phenom 100, five Phenom 300s and two Praetor 600s), the Brazilian airframer says on 19 April. Those figures are down significantly from Q4 2021, when Embraer delivered 55 aircraft, including 16 commercial and 39 executive jets. In Q1 2021, Embraer delivered nine commercial aircraft and 13 executive aircraft, for a total of 22. Embraer does not specify factors causing its deliveries to slow in the first quarter, though other aircraft manufacturers typically report fewer deliveries at the start of each year. The company did not respond to a request for more information but may disclose more details on 28 April, the day Embraer plans to disclose its first-quarter 2022 results. The Q1 2020 was the last quarter when Embraer delivered so few aircraft, its data shows.<br/>
