Airlines expand fleets with Embraer E2 jets

Entities: E190‑E2 · Koji Shibata · Embraer · IBEX Airlines · ANA Holdings

Overview

In July 2026 two major airline groups announced substantial orders for Embraer's second‑generation regional jets.

Brazilian holding Abra Group, which controls carriers such as Gol and Avianca, disclosed a multi‑year deal for up to 45 E195‑E2 aircraft. The firm portion includes 20 jets, with options for 10 more and purchase rights for 15, valued at roughly US$1.2‑1.75 billion. Deliveries are slated to start in late 2027, and the new fleet is expected to boost regional connectivity across Latin America. The announcement was paired with a memorandum of understanding with Etihad Airways to develop codeshare and loyalty links, and a possible dry‑lease of an Airbus A330‑900 for expanded network reach.

A week later, Japan's ANA Holdings approved an order for eight additional E190‑E2 jets, raising its firm order count to 23 and bringing the total potential fleet to 28 with existing options. Valued at about US$642 million, the aircraft will be operated by regional partner IBEX Airlines under an ACMI arrangement, with deliveries scheduled for fiscal years 2029‑2032. ANA cites the jets' 100‑seat cabin and 5,278 km range as central to its goal of building a sustainable regional network in Japan.

Together, these announcements illustrate a broader trend of airlines in disparate regions turning to Embraer's E2 family to expand capacity, improve frequency on thinner routes, and pursue greener, more efficient regional operations.
