Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • JAL’s 16 firm orders and 10 options establish a defined renewal path for J-Air’s E170 and E190 fleet, with deliveries beginning in fiscal 2029.
  • The selection follows ANA’s commitment to the same E2 family, adding to the type’s position in Japan’s regional fleet plans; Embraer had emerged as the reported front-runner against the A220 in JAL’s evaluation earlier this year.
