Embraer Praetor Deliveries Nearly Doubled in First Half of 2025

Embraer’s business aircraft division continues to gain momentum, increasing aircraft production by 36% year on year in the first half of the year. The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer handed over 61 business jets in the first six months, 16 more than in the same period a year earlier. The manufacturer forecasts deliveries of between 145 and 155 business jets this year.

In the midsize business jet segment, deliveries increased by 46%, with 15 Praetor 600s and 11 Praetor 500s handed over, compared with eight and six aircraft, respectively, in the first half of 2024, while production of light Phenom aircraft increased by four over the same period.

In the second quarter alone, Embraer delivered 38 business jets, while 17 Praetor aircraft were handed over to customers—more than twice as many as in the second quarter of 2024. By comparison, 27 business jets were delivered in the same quarter last year.

“We are very pleased with the 41% increase in Embraer Executive Jets deliveries to our valued customers in the second quarter, which is a direct result of production leveling, prudent use of assets and the key investments we have made to expand our production capacity,” said Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “The significant growth in deliveries of the midsize Praetor 500 and super-midsize Praetor 600 business jets during this period is noteworthy.”
