On March 31, Embraer’s firm order backlog totaled USD 21.9 billion. The quarter’s highlight was the rollout of the E190-E2, the first model of the second generation of the E-Jets family of commercial aircraft. In addition, during 1Q16 Austrian Airlines began E-Jets operations (the airline started to incorporate 17 used E195 jets in its fleet).
The agreement signed this week with Horizon Air, a subsidiary of Alaska Air, for 30 E175 jets with options for another 33 aircraft of the same model, totaling USD 2.8 billion based on current list prices, if all options are exercised, will be included in the 2016 second quarter backlog.
In Executive Aviation, the highlight was the announcement of the partnership with Across for sales of business jets in Mexico. Under this agreement, the premium business aviation services provider, based at Toluca International Airport (AIT), on the outskirts of Mexico City, became an authorized sales representative for Embraer’s full business jet portfolio in the Mexican market. In addition, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) released the 2015 worldwide year-end aircraft shipment and billing report, showing the Phenom 300 as the most-delivered business jet in the world for the third consecutive year.
