Embraer sees potential order pipeline for 300 commercial aircraft

While Embraer has so far not announced any commercial jets orders at this year’s Farnborough air show, CE Arjan Meijer says there are numerous deals in the pipeline for at least 300 aircraft. “We feel extremely confident and positive about commercial aviation going forward,” Meijer said during a briefing at the show on 23 July. “I have never seen so much traction in the market as we see today.” So far, the company has had firm orders for 2,200 E-Jets, making the aircraft the third most successful in the industry behind the A320 family and the Boeing 737. The company has delivered to more than 90 airlines in 60-plus countries. Earlier this month the San Jose dos Campos-based company said it had delivered 26 commercial aircraft during the first half of this year. The main highlight of the first six months of 2024 was the order for 20 E2 jets by Mexicana de Aviacion – Mexico’s state-owned airline. The two E2 aircraft - the E190-E2 and E195-E2 - are in the market for some significant improvements, Meijer adds. Most prominent is what Embraer calls the E2TS – or E2 advanced take-off system, the first automated take-off system in commercial aviation, to be available on the aircraft by the end of 2025.<br/>
