In the beginning of 3Q19, Embraer signed a contract with
SkyWest, Inc. for a firm order of seven E175 jets in a 70-seat
configuration. SkyWest will operate the aircraft for Delta. The
order has a value of USD 340 million,
based on 2019 list prices, and was already included in Embraer's
2019 second-quarter backlog as an "undisclosed" customer.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2019.
In the third quarter, Embraer also delivered its first E195-E2,
the largest of the three members of the E-Jets E2 family of
commercial aircraft. The recipients were AerCap, the world's
largest aircraft leasing company, and Azul Linhas Aéreas
Brasileiras. Azul is the global launch operator for the E195-E2 and
had placed firm orders for 51 of the type. The airline will receive
another five aircraft in 2019.
In the Executive Jets segment, Embraer announced a purchase
agreement with Flexjet, a global leader in private jet travel, for
a fleet of Praetor 500, Praetor 600 and Phenom 300 jets. The
announcement was made during the 2019 National Business Aviation
Association's Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition
(NBAA-BACE), in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Valued at up to USD 1.4 billion, at
current list prices, this deal was included in the 2019 second
quarter backlog, with deliveries starting in the fourth
quarter of 2019.
Also, the new Praetor 500 midsize business jet was granted the
Type Certificate from three regulatory authorities: ANAC, the
Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação
Civil); the FAA (U.S. Federal Aviation Administration), and EASA
(European Aviation Safety Agency). Embraer has already received
orders for the Praetor 500, including in Brazil. Also, Embraer delivered a Praetor 600
to its first Brazilian customer in 3Q19.
In the Defense & Security segment, the Portuguese Government
announced a firm order of five multi-mission Embraer KC-390
airlifters, representing the entry of the aircraft into the
international market. The contract, which was signed at Embraer's
facility in Évora, Portugal, also
includes services and support and a flight simulator as part of the
process to modernize Portuguese Air Force capabilities to support
national Armed Forces operations and increase readiness in missions
of public interest. Deliveries are scheduled to start in 2023. This
contract will be included in Embraer's backlog in the fourth
quarter of 2019.
Embraer also delivered the first KC-390 to the Brazilian Air
Force (FAB) at a ceremony held at Anápolis Air Base, starting
preparations for the aircraft's entry into service by FAB's First
Troop Transport Group (1st GTT). Embraer has been conducting
theoretical and practical training with the Air Force teams to
start operations.
In 3Q19, Embraer Services & Support signed a long-term Pool
Program Agreement with Mongolian Hunnu Air to support a wide range
of repairable components for the airline's recently leased fleet of
E190 through the TechCare portfolio of solutions. Horizon Air, a
subsidiary of Alaska Air Group, selected Embraer Aircraft
Maintenance Services (EAMS) in Nashville,
Tennessee, as the exclusive heavy maintenance provider for
the company's fleet of 30 Embraer E175 aircraft. The multi-year
agreement includes airframe maintenance, modifications and repair
services.
