Embraer said it sold 33 Ipanema 203 aerial application aircraft during the recent first quarter, marking an upward sales trend in this market segment. The company said sales of the aircraft, a design that has evolved over decades, rose 38 percent compared with the previous year.
The Brazilian manufacturer said its agricultural aircraft unit expects sales for the full year to be “similar to or better than 2022,” when it sold 66 aircraft. The company also said that given a backlog of orders over the past 12 months, it is scheduling new orders for production and delivery next year.
