RIO ​DE ​JANEIRO, June 6 (Reuters) - Some airlines are delaying ‌decisions to exercise aircraft purchase ⁠options amid uncertainties related to ‌the war in ‌Iran, which has pushed up jet fuel prices significantly, ​Embraer CEO Francisco Gomes Neto told Reuters ⁠on Saturday.

While the Brazilian planemaker has not ​seen requests to defer deliveries or a slowdown in ​active sales ‌campaigns, Gomes Neto noted caution was emerging around ⁠incremental commitments.

"Some companies that could be exercising previously ⁠signed options are leaving that a ​bit further ahead to better understand how the situation will evolve," ‌he said on the sidelines of the International ‌Air Transport Association's (IATA) ⁠annual summit ‌in Rio ​de Janeiro.
