Airlink the ‘highlight’ of Embraer’s spare parts inventory in 1Q25

Embraer delivered 30 aircraft in 1Q25. The result was 20% higher than in the first quarter of last year (1Q24), when 25 aircraft were delivered. 1Q25 deliveries corresponded to 13% of the midpoint (231 aircraft) of the company's full year guidance (between 222 and 240 in 2025) for the combined Executive and Commercial Aviation business units versus an 11% 5-year historical average for the period.

In February, the Phenom 300 series was again recognised as the world's best-selling and most delivered light jet for the 13th consecutive year, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). In the same announcement, the institution confirmed the light jet as the most delivered twin-engine jet for the fifth year in a row in 2024.

In Services & Support, Embraer said the backlog remained stable at US$4.6 billion in 1Q25, with the company reporting Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier carrier, was the highlight of the period with a spare parts inventory support agreement covering its all-Embraer 68 aircraft fleet. The airline will become the first African customer for the customised Embraer Collaborative Inventory Planning (ECIP) management system, which will optimise inventory levels and reduce operational costs for its fleet.
