Embraer (EMBJ) is targeting higher output of commercial jets next year as elevated fuel prices push demand for more efficient aircraft, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing chief executive officer Francisco Gomes Neto.
Speaking at an interview, Neto said that the plane maker aims to deliver as many as 100 commercial jets in 2027, up 20% from this year, according to the report.
The company maintained its delivery guidance of 85 commercial jets and between 160 and 170 business aircraft in 2026, amid short supply of parts like engines and fuselage components, the report said.
Embraer did not immediately respond to' request for comment.
