CEO Francisco Gomes Neto Details How the Brazilian Giant Plans to Overcome Supply Chain Challenges to Achieve Ambitious Goal by 2028, with Order Book Already Secured.
Embraer, the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, aims to reach the milestone of 100 annual deliveries of commercial aircraft by 2028. However, according to its CEO, Francisco Gomes Neto, persistent supply chain issues are likely to prevent the Brazilian company from achieving this goal on time.
Embraer’s Production Target and Logistical Obstacles
Embraer has set a clear objective for its commercial jet production. “We expect to deliver 100 commercial airplanes per year by 2028,” stated CEO Francisco Gomes Neto. The company, which has not reached this mark since 2017, has been on an upward trajectory of deliveries since 2021. For 2025, the forecast is to deliver between 77 and 85 jets, an increase from the 73 expected in 2024.
Gomes Neto had already warned about the limitations imposed by logistics. He emphasized that 2026 will be particularly challenging. “But starting in 2027, we will resume our strong growth plan,” added the executive.

Specific Challenges: From E2 Engines to Fuselage Parts
The logistical issues at Embraer are varied. Last year, the company faced delays in the supply of engines for its E2 jets. Although this situation has improved, new challenges have emerged. Currently, the company is dealing with difficulties in receiving fuselage parts from Europe and engines for the first-generation E1 jets.
Robust Order Book Ensures Future Growth
Despite the hurdles, Embraer’s commercial future seems secure. “We have orders to deliver; there is no lack of sales,” reassured Gomes Neto. The company’s order book and production slots are practically filled for the years 2026 and 2027, and partially for 2028. “The real challenge is to deliver the airplanes,” pointed out the CEO.
New Orders and the Success of E2 Jets in the International Market
Embraer’s confidence is bolstered by a series of new contracts. Recently, the company announced a firm order for 50 E195-E2 aircraft by the American company Avelo Airlines. This agreement marked the first sale of E2 jets in the United States. Additionally, Embraer had already received orders from clients such as Japanese ANA and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) for the same family of jets.
Sales Outlook for the E1 and E2 Jet Families
The sales focus remains strong. According to Gomes Neto, more orders for E2 jets are expected this year, with several sales campaigns underway. On the other hand, the E1 jet family, which primarily serves the North American market, is not expected to record new sales in 2025. The American company SkyWest was one of the firms that ordered E1 aircraft this year.
