SAO ‌PAULO, March ​6 (Reuters) - ​Brazilian planemaker Embraer expects to increase its aircraft deliveries by up to 9.4% in 2026 ‌from the previous year, reaching as many ⁠as 255 commercial and executive jets, it said on Friday.

The company's ‌outlook for the year ‌places commercial aviation deliveries at between 80 and 85 units, up from 78 in 2025, while ​business jet deliveries were estimated to hit 160 to 170, above last year's 155.

The world's third-largest ⁠planemaker after Airbus and Boeing has been boosting annual deliveries since 2021 ​amid strong global demand for its regional and executive jets.

The higher deliveries should also drive ​a jump in revenues, which ‌it projected at between $8.2 billion and $8.5 billion this year, after reaching a record $7.6 billion ⁠in 2025 - above the high-end of its $7.0-7.5 billion guidance.

Embraer, which faced a 10% tariff on exports to the ⁠United States for much of 2025, is now poised to benefit ​from the Trump administration imposing a revised trade regime that brought back a zero tariff policy for the sector.

In the ‌fourth quarter, the Brazilian company reported an 8.9% fall in core profit to $298.4 million, ‌on net revenue that rose 15% to $2.65 billion. ⁠Analysts polled by LSEG ‌expected the metrics ​to hit $284.8 million and $2.52 billion, respectively.
