LATAM has placed a firm order for 24 Embraer E195‑E2s, with 50 options, targeting expansion into 35 secondary cities and smaller airports across Latin America, CEO Roberto Alvo said. The deal, alongside Avelo’s major E195‑E2 order in the US, signals a move toward smaller single‑aisle jets in key markets.

Briefing
LATAM’s 24‑firm/50‑option E195‑E2 commitment is explicitly aimed at serving 35 secondary cities and smaller airports, reshaping short‑haul route potential and regional fleet utilization; it complements the carrier’s recent hangar expansion at Sāo Carlos.
The pair of large E2 deals — LATAM and Avelo’s U.S. order — represents a clear demand shift to smaller, high‑frequency single‑aisle jets; see context in Avelo’s E195‑E2 order and Embraer’s record backlog and programme momentum.
Delivery capacity remains a constraint: Embraer is targeting higher annual handovers but has warned supply‑chain limits will slow ramp‑up, a factor that will affect timing of network and fleet plans (see Embraer’s delivery outlook).
