April 13, 2017

During the first quarter of 2017, Embraer delivered 18 jets to the commercial aviation market across the U.S., Europe and China. In the business aviation market, 15 aircraft were delivered in the same period, comprising 11 light jets and four large jets. On March 31, Embraer's firm order backlog totaled USD 19.2 billion.

In the executive jets business unit, now led by Michael Amalfitano, the main highlight of the quarter was the confirmation of another record set in the industry. With 63 units delivered in 2016, the Phenom 300 was for the fourth consecutive year the world's best-selling executive jet, according to a report made by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). The Phenom 300 has accumulated 266 deliveries since 2013, 11% more units than the second most delivered jet in the same period.

During this period, Embraer also delivered the first Phenom 100EV to an undisclosed U.S. customer. An evolution of the Phenom 100, which entered service in 2008, the Phenom 100EV delivers better performance with new avionics and modified engines.
