At a time when we all wish we could pull out a crystal ball to look into the future, key companies within the business aviation industry have grappled with their own predictions about what 2021 and beyond will bring—and Embraer has joined the chorus of cautious optimism balanced with the reality of a market that has flexed significantly amidst global uncertainty in 2020. In its own take, delivered alongside NBAA’s VBACE on December 2, Embraer’s leadership talked about the commercial side of the business as well as touching upon the uptick in business aviation usage over the summer and autumn.
Embraer Updates Phenom 100EV, Delivers Market Report
Key Takeaways:
- Embraer forecasts a long-term downturn in commercial aviation demand through 2029 due to global economic disruptions, requiring a significant revision of previous projections.
- In contrast, Embraer's Executive Jets division saw strong performance in 2020, with the Phenom 300/300E maintaining its lead as the most-delivered light jet for the eighth consecutive year, indicating a quicker rebound in business aviation.
- The company is strategically positioned for market recovery due to its focus on smaller commercial aircraft (under 150 seats) which aligns with industry trends towards "rightsizing" and increased regional travel.
- Embraer also announced key flight deck upgrades for its Phenom 100EV entry-level light jet, enhancing its competitive offering.
