Embraer has revised its 2024 guidance and now expects to deliver 70 to 73 commercial aircraft. This is below the previous guidance of 72 to 80 aircraft. However, business jet deliveries are still estimated at 125 to 135 units. Despite these adjustments, the revenue guidance remains unchanged at $6,0 to $6,4 billion. The company also expects an adjusted EBIT margin of between 9,0 and 10,0% and free cash flow of at least $300 million. In the third quarter of 2024, Embraer delivered 59 aircraft, including 41 business jets, 16 commercial jets and two defense multi-purpose aircraft. This represents an increase of 26% compared to the previous quarter and an increase of 37% compared to the same period last year. The order backlog reached a new record of $22,7 billion. The company particularly benefited from the Executive Aviation and Defense & Security segments, which each recorded revenue growth of 65% year-on-year. Adjusted EBIT for the third quarter was $297,5 million, corresponding to a margin of 17,6%. In addition, Embraer's credit rating was upgraded to 'BBB-' by Fitch Ratings, which now positions the company in the investment grade segment with a stable outlook.

On November 6, 2024, a British Airways Airbus A380 had to abort its scheduled transatlantic flight from London Heathrow to Miami shortly after takeoff. A technical problem with the oil circuit of an engine led the pilots to decide to temporarily abort the flight. After the abort, the pilots began burning the excess fuel over the English Channel to enable a safe return to Heathrow Airport. The aircraft type, which was originally intended to provide a fast connection to Miami, returned safely to London Heathrow after about 3 hours and 20 minutes in the air. According to reports from "Flightradar24", the aircraft flew in several loops to perform the fuel jettison.

From the beginning of 2025, British Airways will temporarily suspend all flights to Bahrain and Kuwait. The reason for this is ongoing technical problems with the Rolls-Royce engines installed in the airline's Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The shortage of spare parts affects not only British Airways, but also other airlines around the world, such as Gulf Air and Air New Zealand, and is causing a noticeable disruption to the flight schedule. This decision is a continuation of the cuts already announced, including the cancellation of flights to Dallas/Fort Worth and a reduction in flight frequencies to Miami from summer 2025. British Airways had already canceled several long-haul flights in autumn 2024 due to similar engine problems, including connections to New York and Doha. The airline is responding to the difficulties by using other aircraft, such as Boeing 777s, as replacements, but these aircraft are also increasingly affected by maintenance problems. Rolls-Royce, the manufacturer of the affected engines, has acknowledged that difficulties with the availability of spare parts pose a challenge for the entire aviation industry. The problems could continue until 2026, significantly affecting the planning and operation of flights.
