SAO PAULO, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Embraer ( ERJ ) expects

to increase its aircraft deliveries by up to 18% in 2025 from

the previous year, it said on Thursday, reaching as many as 240

commercial and executive jets as it continues to lift output to

meet strong demand.

The Brazilian planemaker's outlook for this year places

commercial aviation deliveries at between 77 and 85 aircraft, up

from 73 in 2024, while business jet deliveries were estimated to

hit 145 to 155, above last year's 130.
