Airbus and Boeing delivery backlogs create opening for Embraer E2, CEO says

Bookmark this story

More than 12,000 Airbus A320neo-family and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft are awaiting delivery, according to Embraer CEO Francisco Gomes Neto. Extended lead times for larger single-aisle jets are creating sales opportunities for Embraer’s smaller E-Jets E2 family, even though it cannot fully replace those aircraft.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • More than 12,000 A320neo-family and 737 MAX aircraft awaiting delivery underscore the scale of the narrowbody supply constraint.
  • Longer waits for larger single-aisle aircraft are creating opportunities for Embraer to position the E2 as an interim or complementary fleet solution.
  • The E2’s smaller capacity limits its ability to directly substitute for A320neo-family and 737 MAX aircraft, making fleet-network fit and delivery timing central to any sales opportunity.
