In delivering its results, Embraer said that the recovery of the market for commercial aircraft this year is showing good opportunities, some of which has resulted in new orders, including a number of significant orders at the recent Farnborough Airshow. As a result, the company has upgraded its revenue guidance for the year from US$5bn (A$5.5bn) to US$5.25bn (A$5.76bn) as well as an increase in operating margin to 6.5 per cent.
