2) Why the delivery number matters
Aircraft deliveries are a key near-term driver for revenue and cash generation in aerospace manufacturing. The year-over-year jump suggests Embraer’s production leveling initiatives are translating into more handovers, which can improve investor confidence in execution against full-year delivery ranges and backlog conversion.
