Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The deal is for 24 firm E195‑E2s plus purchase rights for 50 more (up to 74), a material addition to LATAM's regional capacity that strengthens demand for Embraer's mid‑sized E2 family; see Embraer's record commercial backlog and program momentum.
  • Deliveries begin in H2 2026 and the transaction is reported to involve financing support from BNDES, which matters for LATAM's balance sheet and delivery funding; refer to LATAM's recent equity offering disclosure for context.
  • The order underscores renewed market interest in 150–180 seat regional jets and follows other E195‑E2 commitments, including the U.S. launch‑customer order by Avelo, indicating competitive shifts in regional fleet strategy: see Avelo's E195‑E2 purchase.
