Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Condor's pursuit of Embraer E190 wet‑leases for summer 2026 highlights a near‑term capacity gap as it accelerates fleet transition after retiring the Boeing 757, which could tighten ACMI availability for regional E‑jets.

  • The Lufthansa Group's booking of wet‑lease capacity and Air Baltic integration, combined with Condor's search for seasonal partners and its recent interline agreement in the U.S., will intensify competition for wet‑lease slots ahead of the 2026 summer peak.

  • Lessors, ACMI operators and E‑jet operators should monitor short‑term supply: recent deliveries of Embraer E190s to regional carriers illustrate where replacement airframes are already being absorbed.
