Avelo Airlines, a US low-fare carrier, has placed a firm order for 50 Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, with purchase rights for an additional 50.
Deliveries are anticipated to start in the first half of 2027. The order’s list-price value, excluding the purchase rights, totals USD 4.4 billion.
Avelo will be the first U.S. carrier to operate the type, Embraer’s largest and most advanced commercial aircraft, making this a significant milestone for the Brazilian airframer’s E2 programme.
The E2’s excellent short-field performance, enabled by Embraer E2TS (Embraer Enhanced Takeoff System), Embraer’s first of its kind proprietary technology, is a key capability that will potentially open new routes for Avelo and improve efficiency at many of the its existing destinations.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said: “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.”
