On December 31, 2024, Embraer signed a contract for the sale of four A-29 Super Tucano aircraft to an undisclosed customer in Africa.

The aircraft will perform a wide range of tasks, such as border surveillance, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), close air support, counterinsurgency and pilot training.

Embraer had already announced a firm order for six A-29 Super Tucanos from an undisclosed customer on December 30, 2024. Deliveries are scheduled for 2026.

These aircraft will be equipped with enhanced capabilities to carry out missions such as air defense, close air support and also patrol flights over the sea.

According to Embraer, the A-29 offers high operational flexibility and can be used on unpaved runways in harsh environments thanks to its robust airframe.

Embraer considers the A-29 Super Tucano to be the world leader in its category with over 290 orders and more than 570000 flight hours, 60000 of which are in service. Prior to the current orders, the Brazilian company had already announced sales of the Super Tucano to the Portuguese Air Force (A-29N), the Uruguayan Air Force and the Paraguayan Air Force in 2014.

In Azerbaijan, the theory that the Embraer E190 of Azerbaijan Airlines was accidentally shot at by Russia is considered likely. And claims that the plane was refused permission to land.

The holes were puzzling: shortly after the crash of an Embraer E190 from Azerbaijan Airlines, photos showing holes in the tail unit and fuselage made the rounds. Many observers suspected that they could be bullet holes or shrapnel. According to the local portal Caliber, the investigators in Azerbaijan apparently think so too.

It claims to have learned from reliable government sources that the Azerbaijani authorities assume that flight J28243 was shot at by the Russian Pantir-S missile defense system as it approached its target in Grozny. A Ukrainian drone attack on the Chechen capital took place at the same time. This was confirmed by the government of the republic. However, there is said to have been no damage.

Heavy fog not confirmed in weather data

According to the authorities, the Embraer E190 with the registration number 4K-AZ65 was unable to land in Grozny due to poor visibility. Apparently at least two attempts had failed. The cockpit crew then looked for alternatives. However, according to Caliber, they were not given permission to land at the Russian alternative airports of Makhachkala and Mineralnye Vody.

The Embraer E190 was sent to Aktau - i.e. over the Caspian Sea. This means a distance of around 450 kilometers. The day after the crash, Azerbaijan Airlines announced that it was suspending all flights to Chechnya and Dagestan.

Airspace was not closed

If it really was an accidental attack, Russia would be under pressure to explain itself. If there is a risk of a drone attack or if one is already underway, the airspace in the area must be closed to civilian aircraft. This was not the case over Chechnya at the time. Russia still rejects the accusations of a possible bombardment.

The only thing that has been officially proven so far is that the cockpit crew of Azerbaijan Airlines sent the transponder code 7700 over the Caspian Sea. It stands for an air emergency. Videos taken at the airport show the E190, which was delivered in 2013, descending rapidly. It then turns to the right and hits the ground. Flames can be seen rising, later black smoke. The result of the tragic crash of flight J28243 on December 25: 40 dead and 29 survivors.

Embraer sets its sights on China's regional aviation sector. $ERJ (+0,27%)

The company is targeting the rapidly growing regional aviation market in China's smaller cities to further drive its growth.

Over the next twenty years, China is expected to have a demand for 1,630 aircraft with a maximum of 150 seats. This is according to the latest market outlook published by Embraer during the recently concluded 15th International Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province.

"To build an air transportation system that connects major and regional routes and links urban and remote centers, China needs to deploy the right size aircraft to optimize the network structure. Smaller jets are the key to building network connectivity on a larger scale," said Martyn Holmes, Chief Commercial Officer of Embraer Commercial Aviation, during the air show in Zhuhai.

"The ability of regional hubs to offer high-frequency flights between more cities and improve service quality will attract more passengers," Holmes said.

The Brazilian manufacturer currently operates around 80 aircraft in China. These aircraft connect small and medium-sized airports, facilitating travel in the regional market.

More and more regional airports in second and third-tier cities in China are seeing an increase in passenger traffic, with annual passenger throughput reaching an all-time high last year.

In 2000, Sichuan Airlines signed an order with Embraer for five ERJ145 regional jets. It was the first airline in China and the Asia-Pacific region to use this aircraft model.

In 2003, Embraer and a Chinese company jointly established a factory to manufacture the ERJ145 in China. It was the first time that China entered into a joint venture with a foreign civil aircraft manufacturer to produce aircraft.

The cooperation between China and Brazil is described as a model of South-South cooperation in high-end manufacturing, Embraer said.

Four Embraer jets for Luxair with an option for 13 aircraft. $ERJ (+0,27%)

The airline has purchased a total of four new Embraer E-195-E2 Tech Eagle jets from the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, with an option for a total of 13 aircraft. Official unit price of the new "Eagles": 85.5 million US dollars each! These jets will gradually replace the eleven De Havilland Q-400 propeller aircraft.

But that's not all: the company wants to renew its entire fleet of currently 21 aircraft, which will cost around one billion euros by 2030. The strategy behind this is to stabilize the current 93 destinations in 33 countries and further expand the current passenger numbers of 2.5 million. The company sees a potential of 4.6 million passengers in the medium term.

According to Luxair Director Thomas Fischer, the airline expects the first Embraer 195-E2 to enter service in the first quarter of 2026. And curiosity and impatience are growing: "We can hardly wait."

At the beginning of the year, it became known that Lockheed Martin had also submitted an offer to the Swedish government, which was obviously not successful.https://www.hartpunkt.de/schweden-will-transportflugzeuge-des-typs-c-390-beschaffen/

Embraer exceeds profit expectations. $ERJ (+0,27%)

Embraer exceeds profit expectations - lowers delivery forecast.

The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has raised its forecast for the adjusted earnings margin before interest and taxes (EBIT) in 2024 to nine to ten percent. The company had previously forecast six to seven percent, as Embraer announced.

At the same time, the company increased its free cash flow forecast for the current year to at least 300 million US dollars (around 278 million euros), compared to a previous estimate of at least 220 million US dollars.

Nevertheless, Embraer adjusted its expectations for deliveries of commercial aircraft downwards. The new forecast is now 70 to 73 aircraft, whereas previously 72 to 80 units were expected.

Embraer recorded a significant increase in profits in the third quarter. Adjusted net profit rose to 221 million US dollars, compared to 32.9 million US dollars in the same period last year. LSEG analysts had expected a net profit of 74.8 million US dollars. Embraer explained that the higher than expected profit was calculated without extraordinary effects, including USD 50.8 million for deferred taxes and a loss of USD 8.6 million in the Eve unit.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose from USD 149.3 million in the previous year to USD 356.6 million, exceeding analysts' expectations of USD 162 million. Net sales increased to USD 1.69 billion in the third quarter, compared to USD 1.28 billion in the previous year.

The US approval of the E-Freighter has arrived. Embraer now has access to a large market for small express freighters.

$ERJ (+0,27%)

Following Brazil's national civil aviation authority ANAC, the US FAA has now also granted certification to the Embraer E-Freighter. This opens up a large part of the global market for the E190F "Passenger to Freighter" P2F conversion. Numerous countries automatically accept the FAA approval. Embraer expects to receive certification from the European EASA before the end of the year.

The FAA approval that has now been granted covers both the structural modifications to the aircraft itself and the E-Freighter's cargo loading system developed by the US company U.S. Cargo System.
