Embraer announced today a firm order for six light attack and advanced trainer A-29 Super Tucano airplanes placed by an undisclosed customer. This order will be included in the 4Q24 backlog and deliveries are scheduled to take place in 2026.

These aircraft will be equipped with enhanced capabilities to perform missions such as battlefield air interdiction, close air support, maritime patrol, maritime strike and other territorial defense operations.

As a multi-mission aircraft, the A-29 Super Tucano provides air forces with versatility for armed reconnaissance, close air support, light attack, and advanced training missions on a single platform. Its robust airframe allows the aircraft to operate from unpaved runways in austere environments.

The A-29 Super Tucano is the global reference in its category, with over 290 orders and more than 570,000 flight hours, including 60,000 in combat. In 2024, Embraer announced new sales of the Super Tucano to the Portuguese Air Force (A-29N), the Uruguayan Air Force and the Paraguayan Air Force.
