Even with the increase in the number of units delivered, the amount added in 2017 was lower than in the previous year due to the higher growth in deliveries of aircraft models with lower sales value. For example, conventional aircraft, which recorded a 4% increase.

Latin America presented a drop of 17,1% in relation to the same period of 2016, Brazil represents a great influence in this number.
