en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has reached a milestone for its E2 aircraft program, with Azorra, a global leader in aircraft leasing, confirming an order for 15 E195-E2 jets, along with purchase rights for an additional 15 aircraft, bringing the total potential order to up to 30 units.
With this new deal, Azorra's firm orders for the E2 family have increased from 39 to 54, further solidifying its position as one of the key supporters of the Embraer program. This marks the third follow-on order since the initial partnership in December 2021.
This announcement represents a historic moment for Embraer, as E2 orders have surpassed 500 since the program's launch. Currently, over 200 aircraft from the family are in operation across different regions globally, serving 24 customers, enhancing the manufacturer's presence in a market focused on operational efficiency and sustainability.
John Evans, CEO and Founder of Azorra, stated that the decision for this follow-on order reflects the growing demand from airlines for smaller, fuel-efficient aircraft that offer greater flexibility to explore new markets. He noted that the E2 has proven to be a strategic solution for companies seeking fleet modernization and improved passenger experience.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, said that Azorra's expanded order showcases the aircraft's advantages in economics, operations, and comfort, while highlighting the sustained market demand for jets with moderate capacity and higher efficiency.
The E195-E2 is Embraer's largest commercial aircraft, known for its low fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and low noise levels. Its 2-2 cabin layout eliminates middle seats, providing passengers with a more comfortable travel experience.
The new order will be included in Embraer's second-quarter 2026 order book, further strengthening the Brazilian manufacturer's market position in one of the most competitive sectors of global aviation.
