Embraer Posts Record $35.7 Billion Backlog in Third Quarter

· Aviation · Brazil

Brazilian manufacturer Embraer reached a record company-wide backlog of $35.7 billion in the third quarter of 2026, according to AeroTime. The figure covers orders across Embraer's business, including commercial aircraft, executive jets and defense programs. A record backlog signals strong demand and gives the manufacturer years of production visibility, but it also puts pressure on output and supply chains to deliver on schedule. The result comes as regional and narrowbody demand remains firm, with airlines placing Embraer's E-Jets at the center of network plans.

Why it matters：A record backlog at one of the three big commercial planemakers underscores how strong order demand is straining production capacity, a dynamic that shapes delivery slots and competition for regional aircraft.

Key points

  • Backlog reached $35.7 billion in Q3 2026.
