Japan Airlines orders up to 26 Embraer jets for regional arm

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.
