During the second quarter of 2017, Embraer delivered 35 jets to the commercial aviation market and 24 jets to the business aviation market, of which 16 were light jets and eight were large jets: four Phenom 100, 12 Phenom 300, four Legacy 450, three Legacy 500 and one Legacy 650. 

The number of deliveries in commercial aviation rose roughly 35% over the same period last year. With respect to executive jets, the segment delivered five large jets more than in the second quarter of 2016, although in total the company delivered two units less in 2Q17 compared to 2Q16. On June 30, Embraer’s firm order backlog totaled USD 18.5 billion.

In executive jets, the main highlights of the second quarter were the delivery of the company’s 1,100th aircraft, the sales of three Legacy 650Es to Germany's Air Hamburg, which became the launch customer of this aircraft, and the delivery of the first Phenom 100EVs to markets such as Brazil and Mexico. An evolution of the Phenom 100, which entered into service in 2008, the Phenom 100EV delivers better performance with new avionics and modified engines.
