SAO PAULO, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker
Embraer EMBR3.SA said on Thursday its firm order backlog
reached $17.8 billion at the end of the third quarter, including
a newly announced order by SkyWest for 19 of its E175 jets.
Its backlog grew by $500 million from the previous
quarter, Embraer said in a securities filing.
Embraer delivered 43 aircraft in the third quarter,
compared with 33 in the year-ago period, totaling 105 aircraft
delivered year-to-date.
Earlier on Thursday, the planemaker said that SkyWest had
ordered 19 of its E175 jets for $1.1 billion, with deliveries
expected to start in the final quarter of 2024.
The new aircraft will be flown by United Airlines under
a capacity purchase agreement (CPA), Embraer said.
