Embraer has announced a new firm order from Azorra for 15 E195-E2 aircraft, in an agreement that also includes purchase rights for 15 additional jets.
Embraer and Azorra have signed a new firm order for 15 E195-E2 aircraft, strengthening the long-standing partnership between the two companies and expanding the model’s presence in the global commercial aviation market.
With the new agreement, Azorra’s firm order book for the E2 family increases from 39 to 54 aircraft. This is the third expansion of the company’s original order placed in December 2021, indicating continued demand for smaller single-aisle jets with greater operational efficiency.
The announcement also represents an important milestone for Embraer’s E2 programme. With the new order, total orders for the E2 family have surpassed 500 aircraft. Since entering service, the line has already reached more than 200 aircraft in operation and 24 airline customers.
According to Embraer, E2 jets have been adopted by airlines seeking to better match capacity to their routes, reduce fuel consumption, increase fleet efficiency and offer greater comfort to passengers.
John Evans, CEO of Azorra, said the company’s continued investment in the E2 family reflects global demand for right-sized aircraft with greater efficiency. According to the executive, the model has proven to be a solution for airlines interested in opening new markets, modernising fleets and improving the passenger experience.
Evans also highlighted that Azorra has worked alongside Embraer and Pratt & Whitney to expand the E2 customer base across different regions. For him, the new order reinforces the company’s confidence in the programme and follows the aircraft’s global progress.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, said Azorra has been an important partner in the E2’s international success. According to the executive, the new order represents another endorsement of the aircraft’s operational economics, performance and appeal among passengers and airlines.
The E195-E2 is Embraer’s largest commercial aircraft. The model is known for its low fuel consumption, lower emissions, quieter operation, high reliability and cabin layout with two seats on each side of the aisle, eliminating the middle seat.
For airlines, this configuration makes it possible to serve different markets with greater flexibility. For passengers, the main advantage is greater onboard comfort, especially on regional flights and medium-demand routes.
Azorra’s new order will be included in Embraer’s results and backlog for the second quarter of 2026.
