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
