LAM Mozambique to lease a CemAir Dash 8-400 under ACMI and bring two Embraer E190s into service

Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique (LAM) is boosting capacity with an ACMI lease of a CemAir Dash 8-400, according to NewsAero. The carrier also says two Embraer E190s purchased in December 2025 are set to enter service soon, with reporting pointing to an E190 debut timeline that has slipped.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • LAM is using ACMI leasing to close an immediate fleet gap while it awaits delivery/entry into service of two purchased Embraer E190s, indicating a near-term capacity strategy rather than waiting for owned-aircraft availability.
  • The move highlights how African carriers are balancing timing, route demand, and fleet flexibility through wet-lease style arrangements (ACMI) alongside jet induction plans.
  • For regional network planning and supplier coordination, the combination of a Dash 8-400 ACMI lease and imminent E190 operations affects aircraft availability, cost structure, and deployment decisions across Mozambique’s airline market.
