en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has secured a follow-on order from leasing company Azorra for 15 firm E195-E2 aircraft, with purchase rights for an additional 15 units, further deepening the partnership initiated between the two parties in 2021 and boosting global demand for the E2 series jets.
With the signing of the new order, Azorra's total firm orders for E2 aircraft have increased from 39 to 54. This marks the third time the leasing company has expanded its commitment to the Brazilian manufacturer's program since its initial agreement with Embraer.
The order also marks a significant milestone as Embraer's E2 series orders surpass 500 units. Since the new-generation commercial jets entered service, over 200 aircraft have been delivered and are now in operation with 24 customers worldwide.
John Evans, CEO and founder of Azorra, stated that the continued investment in the E2 reflects airlines' growing demand for aircraft that offer high fuel efficiency, moderate capacity, and operational and economic advantages. The aircraft has proven to be an effective solution for opening new markets and fleet renewal. Evans also noted that as one of the early supporters of the program, Azorra has been working with Embraer and Pratt & Whitney to expand the aircraft's operator base across different regions. The new order demonstrates confidence in the program and coincides with the E2's growing global influence.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, said the expansion of the order confirms the aircraft's advantages in economics, operability, and comfort. He emphasized that the 500-order milestone indicates rising market demand for aircraft with moderate capacity and higher efficiency.
The E195-E2 is Embraer's largest commercial aircraft, characterized by low fuel consumption, low carbon emissions, low noise, and high operational reliability. The cabin features a 2-2 seating configuration, eliminating middle seats and providing passengers with greater comfort.
The new agreement will be included in Embraer's order book for the second quarter of 2026.
