[Avionics Today 10-28-2015] Embraer has released its third quarter 2015 results, posting revenues of $1.2 billion, representing an increase of 3.6 percent compared to the same quarter in 2014. The increase was driven by growth in the commercial aviation and executive jets segments, as revenues in the defense and security segment declined 47.5 percent in the quarter.
Embraer delivered a total of 21 commercial and 30 executive aircraft (21 light jets and 9 large jets) this quarter, compared to a total of 19 commercial and 15 executive aircraft (15 light jets) in the same period in 2014.
