Embraer’s target is to deliver 72 commercial aircraft in 2024, but the 1st quarter may not have been a good start. According to unofficial records from Planespotters, the planemaker had delivered seven jets by March.
Until March 18, only one plane had been sent to Royal Jordanian, but Embrar dispatched another six aircraft in the last days of the month.
In the end, in addition to the Royal Jordanian E195-E2, three other jets of the type were delivered to Porter Airlines, which now has 32 of them in the fleet, in addition to another three E175s for Horizon Air and Envoy.

If confirmed, the seven jets represent the same number delivered in the 1st quarter of 2023. In other words, to reach the target base it will be necessary to deliver at least 65 commercial aircraft in the remainder of the year.

The most optimistic guidance, however, is much more difficult: 73 jets are needed, or nine more than were delivered throughout 2023.
Aircraft production has been affected by disruptions in the supply chain, particularly engines. Without components, customers have to wait longer until they can receive their aircraft.
Embraer hopes to repeat the prevalence of the new E2 series in deliveries. In 2023, they had 39 deliveries, 20 more than in 2022 and surpassing E1 for the first time.
