The executive aviation sector delivered more than half of the aircraft, with 29 aircraft delivered.

The rest of the executive aircraft delivered were 13 mid-size jets. Nine of those mid-sized jets were Praetor 500s and four were Praetor 600s. In comparison, 23 executive aircraft were delivered in 1Q25, with 14 light jets and 9 mid-size jets. Embraer claims the higher deliveries of both light and midsize jets propped the strong performance and reflected continued solid demand across the segment.
