At Least it is Steady—Embraer’s Large RJ Deliveries

Embraer’s Large RJ Deliveries

• Embraer have delivered almost 1,500 large RJs since deliveries first began in 2004
• But, deliveries have been flat since 2010 averaging about 100 deliveries for the nine-year period between 2010 and 2018
• 90 deliveries in 2018 is about 60% of their top delivery year in 2008
• This performance points to low demand for large RJs because of pilot scope constraints in the U.S. and possibly the lack of overall demand for aircraft between 70 and 120 seats
• As a comparison, Bombardier may have delivered only about 20 large RJs in 2018; Boeing delivered almost 600 narrowbody aircraft in 2018 and Airbus delivered 600+
• If approved, Embraer will have a joint venture with Boeing beginning in the 3rd quarter of this year
