Executive Aviation Highlights

In Executive Jets, deliveries reached 41 units and increased more than 45% yoy and more than 50% qoq. The backlog of the business unit reached US$ 4.4 billion during the quarter, 3% higher annually but 4% lower sequentially.

The nominal decline in the backlog from its historical peak level can be explained by stronger growth (higher deliveries) and a seasonally slower period for sales because of summer in the northern hemisphere.

The mid and super-mid sized jets Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 represented close to half of the segment deliveries (19 jets) boosted by the positive momentum for this aircraft family. Meanwhile, the Phenom 300, the best-selling aircraft in its category for 12 consecutive years worldwide, was once again the top performer (18 jets) during the quarter.

Commercial Aviation Highlights

In Commercial Aviation, deliveries reached 16 jets (underpinned by 12 units from the E2 family and 4 from the E1) during the period, up more than 5% yoy. The highlight was the delivery of the first E2 aircraft under a contract signed with a lessor to supply LOT Polish Airlines – the agreement includes two more jets before year-end. Additionally, Virgin Australia placed a firm order for eight E190-E2 small narrowbody aircraft during the quarter. Consequently, the segment's backlog reached US$ 11.1 billion in 3Q24, almost 30% higher yoy and marginally lower qoq.
