The Sao Paulo headquartered business makes the popular regional jet range including the E170 and E190 E2 airliners, business jets, and military aircraft.
In its financial results, it listed a backlog worth $26.3 billion, a 41% increase year on year with defence and security operations accounting for the biggest area of growth with a 67% year-on-year increase.
Commercial aviation was still worth the most to Embraer though with the backlog for airliners accounting for $10.2bn of its total backlog albeit down slightly from Q3. Year-on-year the commercial aviation sector was up 15%.
Executive Jets had a backlog worth $7.4bn in Q4 with jets such as the Phenom and Praetor selling well in the ever-growing biz jet market, this was almost double the Q3 figure of $4.4bn.
