Embraer is sticking to plans to ramp up business jet deliveries gradually in
2013 to between 105 and 120, including first deliveries of the Legacy
500. The delivery outlook released by the Brazilian manufacturer on 5
February predicts that 2013 will mark a minor turn-around for the
business jet division.
After peaking in 2010 with 144 business jets delivered, the maker of
the Phenom, Legacy and Lineage product lines reduced annual output to 99
total aircraft for the next two years. The company has been waiting for the light jet market in North America to recover
from the post-2008 financial crisis, but is not expecting significant
improvement this year.

The outlook predicts light jet deliveries could improve to between 80
and 90 Phenoms, up from 77 last year. The forecast includes a ramp-up
of deliveries for NetJets which ordered 50 Phenom 300s in 2010. The number of large jets is also expected to only grow incrementally,
despite the expected entrance into service of the Legacy 500 later this
year. Embraer forecasts large jet deliveries will increase from 22 in
2012 to between 25 and 30 in 2013
Meanwhile, Embraer's executive aviation division expects to generate
revenues of $1.4-$1.6 billion, or about one-quarter of all revenues.
