Avelo Airlines has placed a firm order for 50 Embraer E195‑E2 aircraft, with purchase rights for 50 more, supporting the airline’s strategy to deliver affordable and convenient travel across the United States. Aircraft deliveries are expected to begin in the first half of 2027. The list-price value of the order is US$4.4 billion, excluding purchase rights.
Avelo will be the first U.S. carrier to operate Embraer’s largest and most advanced commercial aircraft, making this a significant milestone for Embraer’s flagship E2 program. The E195‑E2s will modernize Avelo’s fleet, complementing its Boeing 737NGs for the foreseeable future while improving cost efficiency and network reach.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “We are thrilled to partner with Embraer and bring this best-in-class small narrowbody airplane to the United States marketplace. Our customers will love the E2’s comfortable 2×2 seating, in-seat power ports, large overhead bins, and quiet cabin. The aircraft’s exceptional performance, size, and efficiency make it the perfect choice for the future growth of our scheduled service network. The airline industry in the United States is evolving, and the E2 fits perfectly with our vision for Avelo’s unique role in that evolution.”
“The E195‑E2 is a game‑changer for airlines that want to grow profitably while elevating the guest experience,” said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
