Aircraft Manufacturer Embraer Publishes 20-Year Market Outlook in July 2024

  • Worldwide demand for 10,500 sub-150-seat jets and turboprops
  • Value of new orders USD 640 billion
  • North America, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe will lead jet deliveries

Embraer has published Market Outlook 2024, its 20-year forecast for commercial aircraft deliveries in the sub-150-seat category. The report was presented at a press briefing during the Farnborough International Airshow 2024.

Market Outlook 2024 estimates 10,500 orders for new jets and turboprops through 2043. It also presents analyses of global influences and trends in six world regions that impact the demand for new aircraft.

The relevance of the small narrowbody category is increasing. Larger aircraft are not always economically or operationally optimal for medium and lower-density markets, particularly when multiple daily frequencies are essential for those cities to stay well-connected. Fleets with these aircraft benefit when complemented by smaller narrowbodies in the sub-150-seat segment. Small narrowbodies go where bigger jets cannot, do so more frequently, and usually more profitably. As the average aircraft size in key world regions increases, a reflection of the strong orderbook for 200-seat narrowbodies, it becomes clear that a mixed fleet of small and large narrowbodies is the best way to serve the diverse characteristics of an airline network.

Arjan Meijer, Embraer’s President & CEO of Commercial Aviation, said, “A mix fleet of sub-150-seat jets and larger narrowbodies will be the successful fleet strategy for the next 20 years. The post-pandemic environment is different in so many ways. The business/leisure passenger mix is different. Demand patterns are different. The corporate workplace is different. And e-commerce is booming. Carriers are adding capacity in big markets, yet smaller cities still need to stay well-connected to airline networks with high frequency air service. We believe aircraft in the sub-150-seat category are the most efficient and cost-effective to address that need.”

The Market Outlook also contains analysis of the cargo aircraft market and cites new opportunities for small-narrowbody freighters resulting from the projected growth in online commerce.

Highlights of the 20-Year Commercial Market Outlook – By the Numbers

Training Aircraft Manufacturer Elixir Aircraft On Track To Deliver One Aircraft Per Week By End of 2024

Elixir Aircraft, a France headquartered manufacturer of training aircraft, is exhibiting for the 3rd time at EAA AirVenture, the world’s largest fly-in, in Oshkosh (Wisconsin, USA), from July 22 to 28, 2024. On this occasion, Elixir Aircraft announced that it has delivered more than 25 aircraft, the serial number 26 being delivered to the aircraft rental company Locavion (France). With the objective to deliver one aircraft per week by the end of the year, Elixir Aircraft continues the ramp up of production in order to meet demand, which consist of over 200 orders and pre-orders.

At the same time, the Sarasota plant in Florida, designed for the re-assembly of American aircraft, is scheduled to open during 2025.

Elixir Aircraft is present at AirVenture with two 100 and 140 hp aircraft from its Elixir range. A large part of the sales and customer support team made the trip to meet North American customers. Set up in the heart of the area dedicated to certified manufacturers, close to the main entrance, Elixir Aircraft displays its ambitions for the American market.

As schools around the world renew their fleets, the 4th generation Elixir aircraft has already won over some twenty European customers, including the Airbus Flight Academy school, which operates several examples.

To keep pace with its accelerating production, Elixir Aircraft is expanding its 3 French sites in La Rochelle. A 15,000 m2 facility will be built there in 2026.

At the same time, Elixir Aircraft is preparing to open its American facility in 2025. Located at the Sarasota Bradenton airport in Florida, it will be mainly devoted to the initial reassembly of aircraft delivered to American customers. Over 200 Elixir aircraft have been ordered (firm orders and pre-orders) by the American market. Around 200 people will be employed in Sarasota, bringing the company’s total workforce to 400.

About Elixir Aircraft­
Elixir Aircraft is a French aircraft manufacturer founded in 2015 to meet the challenges of global light aviation. Based in La Rochelle, it has over 150 employees and is recruiting massively. Elixir Aircraft designed and has been building a 4th-generation two-seater aircraft, certified EASA CS-23 since 2020. Elixir Aircraft uses technology from the world of competitive sailing, the “Carbon Oneshot” (in one piece), to simplify structures. More simplicity means fewer failures, so greater safety, but also less maintenance, and lower costs (estimates of savings of $50/h fuel and maintenance). At the end of 2021, Elixir Aircraft opened a new production site in Périgny, Charente Maritime, to bring production of all carbon parts in-house.

There are 25 Elixir aircraft currently in operation, with over 200 of the 4th-generation Elixir aircraft on the order book (firm or pre-orders). In June 2023, the French President announced a 13-million euro subsidy for Elixir Aircraft. In early 2024, Elixir Aircraft announced the closing of its development financing for the next 5 years, with a budget of 40 million euros. Elixir Aircraft is preparing to open a new 15,000 m2 facility in La Rochelle and another in Sarasota, Florida.
