Japan Airlines orders up to 26 Embraer jets for regional arm
Japan Airlines has placed an order for up to 26 Embraer E190-E2 aircraft for its regional subsidiary J-Air, according to a statement released on Wednesday. The deal includes 16 firm orders and 10 options for the aircraft. The E190-E2s are intended to replace J-Air's existing fleet of first-generation E170 and E190 jets. Deliveries are expected to begin in fiscal year 2029.
This order comes shortly after Japanese carrier ANA increased its commitment to Embraer's E2 family, signing a firm order for 23 jets earlier in 2024. The Embraer E2 family is viewed as a strong competitor to Airbus' A220.
