Avelo orders up to 100 Embraer E195‑E2s, becomes U.S. launch customer

Avelo Airlines has placed a firm order for 50 Embraer E195‑E2s with purchase rights for 50 more, becoming the first U.S. operator of the E2 family. The deal supports Avelo’s network expansion to small and mid‑sized U.S. cities and increases competition with the A220.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The transaction is 50 firm jets plus purchase rights for 50 more — the E2’s first U.S. sale — and comes as Embraer carries a record US$29.7 billion backlog, underpinning OEM production and delivery planning (see Embraer’s record US$29.7 billion backlog: https://hype.aero/?story=61c4bbe3-d5bc-4f76-8fd0-85835a9fce73).

  • The order is directly enabled by Avelo’s recent financing and liquidity build‑out, supporting accelerated fleet growth and network expansion (see Avelo’s recent Series C funding: https://hype.aero/?story=ddc3cdd7-0e84-416a-a1cb-08cbd3bf9f9c).

  • Bringing the E195‑E2 to the U.S. market adds a production E‑jet variant to compete with the A220 on capacity and regional routes; early operator data such as Scoot’s reported E190‑E2 performance offers real‑world precedent for E2 economics (see Scoot’s E190‑E2 operational results: https://hype.aero/?story=9853a13a-ded6-49b6-a5ca-7c17e63ae1b7).
