12,420 Airbus A320neo & Boeing 737 MAX Jets Are Backlogged While Embraer's E2 Takes 13-15 Months To Build

As of late October 2023, Airbus has a backlog of approximately 12,420 A320neo aircraft awaiting delivery, representing a significant demand for the narrowbody jetliner. Simultaneously, Boeing’s 737 MAX program also faces substantial backlogs, though specific numbers were not disclosed in this report. Meanwhile, Embraer’s Executive Jets division is experiencing longer lead times due to high demand for its Prajã and Scorpions models. The company reports that it currently takes between 13 and 15 months to build an E2 aircraft. This extended timeframe highlights the growing popularity of Embraer's regional jets within the business aviation sector.
