Embraer is the third-largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, trailing only Boeing and Airbus for total aircraft produced per year. The company is most known for its production and dominance in the commercial regional airliner market. This includes the original Embraer Regional Jet (ERJ) series, which includes the ERJ 135, ERJ 140, and the ERJ 145.
These aircraft can each transport 37 passengers, 44 passengers, and 50 passengers, respectively. Embraer's E-Jet family aircraft dominate the North American regional market. The ERJ series was retired in 2020, after a total of 1,250 aircraft were built, and instead focused on its upgraded regional airliner family of aircraft.
These regional jets are much larger than the ERJ family. The smallest of the upgraded regional jets in the E-Jet family, the Embraer 170, can fit between 66 and 78 passengers. More recently, Embraer began production of the E-Jet E2 series, a significant upgrade from the original E-Jet series.
Over 100 E2 aircraft have been produced since the aircraft series was introduced in 2018. However, Embraer has also ventured into the civil aviation and private aviation industries over the years. Currently, the Brazilian manufacturer produces the Phenom series, a very light business jet and a light business jet , which are some of the most flown private jets in the world.
It also produces the Embraer Praetor 500 and Praetor 600, which are midsize and super-midsize business jets , representing its offerings in the larg.
