Finnair has signed an agreement for up to 46 Embraer E195-E2 aircraft as part of an ongoing fleet renewal. The agreement consists of 18 firm orders, 16 options, and 12 purchase rights, with delivery expected for the second half of 2027.
“This is one of the largest investments in Finnair’s 102-year-old history, and a vital step in our strategy,” said Turkka Kuusisto, CEO of Finnair. The Embraer E2 will enable us to strengthen our European network and tap into the growth opportunities in the market, while also enhancing our competitiveness through reliability, versatility and high degree of customer comfort. Importantly, this investment also reduces our CO2 footprint, advancing our climate targets.”
Finnair has a diverse fleet, with aircraft ranging from the Airbus A350-900 and A330-300, to A321, A320, and A319s. The airline’s smaller aircraft, including Embraer E190s and ATR 72-500s, are operated by Norra, Finnair’s regional subsidiary.
“Embraer is honoured to support Finnair’s exciting next chapter,” commented Arjan Meijer, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “The E195‑E2’s unique combination of efficiency, comfort, and reliability delivers meaningful value – lower fuel burn, lower CO₂, and superior economics. We look forward to helping Finnair modernise its short‑haul fleet to better match demand, reduce emissions, and unlock growth.”
