Brazilian aerospace giant Embraer has announced it will once again establish a formidable presence at the upcoming Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom. The company is set to highlight its ongoing growth momentum, which continues to be propelled by rising aircraft deliveries, a record-breaking backlog, and a robust expansion across its key global markets.
Taking place from July 20 to 24 at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Hampshire, England, the prestigious biennial aviation event will serve as a global stage for Embraer. Attendees will be able to get up close with some of the manufacturer's premier aircraft on static display, including the E195-E2, the world’s most efficient small narrowbody jet, and the KC-390 Millennium multi-mission airlifter and tanker.
Reflecting on the company’s trajectory and the importance of the event, Francisco Gomes Neto, president and CEO of Embraer, noted the strategic value of the airshow:
“Embraer is set for a sustainable growth, supported by strong demand across our businesses, expanding global presence, and continued investments in efficiency and innovation,” said Francisco Gomes Neto, president and CEO of Embraer. “We see consistent demand across all segments of the business, and Farnborough provides a unique opportunity to engage with customers, strengthen partnerships, and pursue new business opportunities around the world.”
This commercial optimism is well-founded. During the first half of 2026, Embraer successfully delivered 109 aircraft, representing an impressive increase of approximately 20% compared to the 91 aircraft delivered during the same period in the previous year. This performance underscores the steady progress of the company’s production levelling and operational efficiency initiatives. Combined with a record backlog, these delivery figures reinforce Embraer’s robust position in the aerospace sector and offer clear visibility for its future growth.
On the tarmac, the E195-E2 will stand as a testament to Embraer's leadership in efficient and sustainable commercial aviation. As the largest member of the E-Jets E2 family, it is designed with advanced aerodynamics to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, making it a key talking point in ongoing discussions with airlines worldwide.
Besides it, the KC-390 Millennium will showcase the company’s next-generation tactical transport and defence capabilities. Renowned for its versatility, payload capacity, and speed, the KC-390 is rapidly expanding its international footprint, particularly among NATO member countries looking for reliable, modern, and cost-effective multi-mission platforms.
Furthermore, Embraer will highlight its forward-looking vision for urban air mobility through its subsidiary, Eve Air Mobility. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to explore a full-scale mock-up of Eve’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and enjoy a simulated flight experience, emphasising the group's dedication to building a sustainable future for urban transport.
