Snarls along the aviation supply chain may make it a challenge for Embraer SA to meet its year-end commercial delivery targets, the Brazilian aerospace manufacturer said.
“We are suffering with these supply chain constraints. We had a difficult first half,†Chief Executive Officer Francisco Gomes Neto said in an interview with Bloomberg. “We’re doing everything we can to mitigate the problems.â€
Embraer isn’t alone in experiencing difficulties getting the necessary parts to make aircraft.
Airbus SE said last month that by the end of May, the company had 20 so-called gliders, or fully built aircraft without engines, that were unable to be shipped.
