Embraer forecasts demand for 10,500 sub-150-seat aircraft by 2044
Embraer expects demand for 10,500 sub-150-seat jets and turboprops within the next 20 years for the market in general. Value of new orders is US$680 billion.
SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, BRAZIL – Embraer has published Market Outlook 2025, its annual 20-year forecast for commercial aircraft deliveries in the sub-150-seat category. The report was released in advance of the Paris Air Show next week.
Market Outlook 2025 estimates 10,500 orders for new jets and turboprops through 2044. It also presents analyses of global influences and trends in seven world regions that impact the demand for new aircraft. Because of its growing prominence in commercial aviation, statistics for China are detailed separately in this year's Market Outlook for the first time.
The document also analyzes demand for cargo aircraft, including a forecast for passenger-to-freighter conversions.
The overall forecast for the number of new sub-150-seat aircraft remains almost unchanged from Embraer's previous estimate. Arjan Meijer, Embraer President and CEO of Commercial Aviation, attributes the consistency of the estimate to the longevity of social, supply chain, and geopolitical trends Embraer identified during the pandemic.
'Five years after the onset of the pandemic, many of the structural changes it triggered have proven to be quite long lasting. In our first post-pandemic Market Outlook, we highlighted the transition from globalization to a more polarized geopolitical outlook. Today, as countries and regions pursue greater strategic autonomy, the demand for regional access will continue to grow. We believe mixed fleets that combine small and large narrowbody aircraft are essential for that long-term growth. They provide the versatility needed to better match capacity with demand, expand networks, and support national and regional development goals.'

NewTerritory to lead brand experience transformation for LATAM
NewTerritory appointed by LATAM Airlines as brand experience and design partner following a global tender, marking their first collaboration. Project spans redefining LATAM's product design guideline and design philosophy to enable a number of future design programme launches. Aviation brand experience and design studio, NewTerritory, has been appointed as LATAM Airlines' strategic partner to deliver a wide-ranging and comprehensive transformation of its product design experience, following a competitive multi-agency tender process. Marking the first collaboration between the London-based studio and the largest airline in the Southern Hemisphere, NewTerritory will lead the delivery of LATAM's new product design identity and design philosophy, along with the supporting documentation that will shape all future design programme launches. As the sole partner for this strategic element, NewTerritory will define the creative direction and ensure it ties seamlessly across the entire passenger and employee experience, feeding directly into future developments and launches. The all-encompassing project begins with the creation of a comprehensive Product Design Bible – a foundational document that will define what it means to step into a LATAM space. From the check-in counter and airport lounge to the aircraft seat, this work will establish the core principles that guide every touchpoint in the passenger journey. This new design experience will then cascade into the development of a number of future design programme launches later into the year, including hard and soft products. Speaking on the announcement, Nadja Orwell, Director of Client Partnerships at NewTerritory, said: 'Flying may be more familiar than ever, and because of that, customer expectations continue to evolve with growing demand for personalisation, comfort and considered moments throughout the journey. 'For airlines, this means working harder than ever to deliver experiences that feel intentional, elevated and memorable to create moments that speak to passengers' emotional needs. 'That's what makes this partnership with LATAM so exciting. Starting with the Product Design Bible gives us a clear foundation to define what LATAM stands for as a brand – and to express that design DNA across future programmes, shaping the onboard journey for both passengers and crew. It's an approach that brings consistency, coherence and, most importantly, experiences that truly resonate.' Dominic Purvis, SVP of Product and Customer Experience at LATAM Airlines, added: 'NewTerritory demonstrated a unique ability to connect brand, design and customer experience in a way that felt both strategic and emotionally intelligent. Their creative approach and cross-sector insight made them the standout choice in a highly competitive process. 'This partnership marks a major step in our journey to deliver an elevated, distinctive and cohesive LATAM experience – one that reflects the warmth, diversity and vibrancy of Latin America while embracing innovation and human-centered design. We're not just enhancing the travel journey, we're crafting an experience that is emotionally resonant, culturally authentic and truly unlike any other, making it unmistakably LATAM.' Further details on the project will be shared later this year, with phased rollouts expected to align with LATAM's broader innovation and customer strategy.
