Brazil’s aerospace leader Embraer is grappling with global supply chain disruptions despite a record $21.1 billion backlog, impacting delivery timelines. While facing delays, Embraer claims these are shorter compared to its larger rivals like Airbus and Boeing, who are also experiencing similar challenges.
The National Industrial Development Center (NIDC), AHQ Group, and Embraer have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a joint strategy for strengthening the Saudi Arabian aerospace sector. The collaboration aims to integrate Embraer aircraft into the country’s aviation sector and explore opportunities in technology, supply chain management, and human resources development. This partnership aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan to promote industrial growth and diversification.
Eve Air Mobility and Groupe ADP have joined forces to drive innovation and sustainability at Paris-Le Bourget Airport. Embraer will expand its maintenance operations for the new Energia aircraft family and support Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations using eVTOL aircraft. The partnership will strengthen Paris-Le Bourget’s position as a hub for eco-friendly aviation.
Embraer has acknowledged its exceptional suppliers at the Embraer Suppliers Conference (ESC). Various suppliers were recognized across ten categories for their exceptional contributions, including collaboration, performance, quality, and excellence. These factors significantly impacted Embraer’s achievements in the previous year. The esteemed companies were designated as “Preferred Suppliers” and are now eligible to join the Embraer Suppliers Advisory Council (ESAC). Additionally, Embraer announced a new organizational structure within the Vice Presidency of Global Procurement and Supply Chain, streamlining supplier management and aligning with strategies for a more robust and resilient supply chain, supporting Embraer’s operational efficiency and sustainable growth.
Embraer announced its successful deliveries and backlog results for the first quarter of 2024. The company delivered a total of 25 jets across its executive, commercial, and defense segments, marking a 67% increase from the previous year’s first quarter. The total backlog for the company increased to over $4.6 billion in the private aviation sector and $11.1 billion in the commercial sector. However, the Defense & Security segment experienced a 4% decrease in backlog.
