Luxair receives first Embraer E195‑E2, kicking off Q400 retirements

Luxair has taken delivery of its first Embraer E195‑E2 — one of six on firm order — after a ferry from Brazil. The 136‑seat twinjet will enter service early next year and marks the start of a fleet renewal that will phase out the carrier's Q400 turboprops.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Luxair's handover is the first of six firm E195‑E2s (136 seats) and will enter service early next year, triggering the planned retirement of its Q400 turboprops — a material fleet transition for capacity and regional operations.
  • The delivery adds to a wave of E2 roll‑outs across operators and underscores growing market traction for Embraer's regional twinjets; see other recent E195‑E2 entries and network launch plans such as Airlink's first E195‑E2 delivery and entry plans and major orders like Avelo's 50‑jet deal and other operator handovers including Virgin Australia's E190‑E2 arrival.
